"The Annunciation," also known as "Ecce Ancilla Domini!" (Latin for "Behold the handmaid of the Lord"), is an oil painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, completed in 1850. The painting is Rossetti's interpretation of the biblical Annunciation, depicting the moment when the Angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus, the Son of God, marking his Incarnation.

Rossetti's rendition of this traditional Christian subject matter is notable for its departure from the grandiose settings often found in earlier depictions. Instead, he presents a more intimate and psychologically charged encounter. The painting features a demure and introspective Mary dressed in simple white garments, set against a sparse interior. The angel Gabriel is rendered with an ethereal presence, emphasizing the spiritual nature of the scene. The use of lilies in the composition symbolizes Mary's purity, a common motif in Annunciation art.

Measuring 28.5 inches by 16.5 inches, the work is executed in a style characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which Rossetti co-founded. The Brotherhood was known for its rejection of the conventions of academic painting and its emphasis on detailed observation of nature, medievalism, and the use of bright, vivid colors. "The Annunciation" is celebrated for its emotional depth, symbolic complexity, and the innovative approach Rossetti took in portraying a familiar religious narrative.

The painting is part of the collection at the Tate Britain in London. It has been the subject of extensive art historical analysis and is considered a significant work in Rossetti's oeuvre, reflecting his interest in religious themes and his commitment to the Pre-Raphaelite ideals of truth to nature and personal expression.
