In this room there are large altarpieces commissioned during the sixteenth century by various religious institutions and lay brotherhoods of the city to important Florentine artists. Among these it stands the Annunciation by Raphael Botticini, which was performed between the first and second decade of the 1500s, arguably commissioned by the workers of the Abbey of St Salvatore. The Nativity is another work that allows to confer a name to the conventional “Master of landscapes Kress”. He was possibly Giovanni di Lorenzo Larciani, originally from Larciano, who died during the plague of 1527. The lunette with the blessing Eternal Father by Empoli crowned until 1738 the Allegory of the Conception in the church of St Salvatore. It served as copy for the altarpiece by Vasari for the church of the Santi Apostoli in Florence. Works by anonymous Florentine artists are also the large table with the Madonna of the Canopy and the small tondo with the adoration of the Child and St. John.
