"Annunciation" by Guido da Siena is a thirteenth-century tempera and gold leaf painting on panel, attributed to the Italian painter Guido da Siena, whose work predates the well-known Florentine painter Cimabue. Although there is limited information about Guido's life and oeuvre, he is considered an important figure in the Sienese School of painting, which was a significant precursor to the Renaissance style of art. The "Annunciation" is believed to depict the biblical scene in which the Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus, a momentous event in Christian theology.

The painting is characterized by the Byzantine style that was prevalent in Italy during the time, featuring a gold background and figures with stylized, elongated proportions and solemn facial expressions. The use of gold leaf in the background is indicative of the divine nature of the scene being depicted, a common practice in religious art of the period. The figures are typically arranged in a hieratic composition, with the angel often shown delivering the message to a receptive Mary, who may be depicted reading or in a contemplative pose.

Guido da Siena's version of the Annunciation would have been created for devotional purposes, likely intended for a church or a private chapel. The painting's current location, provenance, and condition are not well-documented in available sources, which limits the ability to provide a comprehensive analysis of its historical and artistic significance.

As an early example of Sienese painting, Guido da Siena's "Annunciation" holds a place in the history of Italian art, representing the transition from medieval iconography towards the more naturalistic styles that would later flourish during the Renaissance. The work is an important piece for understanding the development of religious themes in European art and the evolution of painting techniques during the late Middle Ages.
