The Angel Annunciate is a prominent figure depicted on the exterior of the left panel of the Ghent Altarpiece, a pivotal work of the Northern Renaissance, painted by the brothers Hubert and Jan van Eyck. Completed in 1432, the altarpiece, also known as the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, is renowned for its intricate detail, use of oil paints, and complex iconography. The Angel Annunciate is part of a larger scene that includes the Annunciation, traditionally the moment when the Archangel Gabriel informs the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

The figure of the Angel Annunciate is depicted with a serene and solemn grace, embodying the spiritual significance of the message it is believed to convey. The angel is dressed in ecclesiastical robes that are richly adorned with jewels and intricate patterns, reflecting the wealth and splendor of heavenly realms. The use of light and shadow, a technique perfected by the van Eyck brothers, gives the figure a three-dimensional quality that was revolutionary for its time.

The exterior panels of the Ghent Altarpiece are visible when the altarpiece is closed and are executed primarily in grisaille, a painting technique that uses shades of grey to create a sculpture-like effect. This monochromatic scheme contrasts with the vibrant colors of the interior panels, which are revealed when the altarpiece is opened for special religious occasions. The Angel Annunciate, along with its counterpart on the right panel, the figure of the Virgin Annunciate, serves as a prelude to the rich narrative and theological complexity that unfolds within the altarpiece.

The Ghent Altarpiece, and by extension the Angel Annunciate, has been the subject of extensive art historical research, and its influence on the development of Northern European painting is widely acknowledged. The altarpiece has survived numerous threats throughout its history, including theft and wartime looting, and has been the focus of several restoration campaigns, the most recent of which was completed in 2020. This restoration has allowed for a deeper understanding of the van Eyck brothers' techniques and has brought renewed attention to the exquisite details of works like the Angel Annunciate.
