# The Cestello Annunciation is completed about 1489 as a dated Florentine sacred panel as received

Date: 1489

## The fact

Uffizi and Britannica independently place a major Annunciation in Botticelli’s later 1480s sacred work.

It is one event.

## Context

An Annunciation for a Florentine church is a knowledge-and-devotion path. Shared architectural setting remains.

[Sandro Botticelli](/people/sandro-botticelli)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Uffizi holds the Annunciation for the Cestello (Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi) context; dating late 1480s–1490. One Annunciation, one Fact.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

Uffizi Galleries and Britannica — Sandro Botticelli independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Uffizi Galleries (https://www.uffizi.it/en; Gallerie degli Uffizi).

## Significance

Cestello Annunciation is a knowledge-access path of high confidence on the work, medium on exact month.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a sourced public record of this instrument at the date assigned here.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Sandro Botticelli.

They are not a public rating.

Sandro Botticelli did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Do not split underdrawings into Facts. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Sandro Botticelli.
