The Virgin Annunciate is a significant component of the Ghent Altarpiece, a monumental polyptych painting that is considered one of the most important works of the Northern Renaissance. The altarpiece, also known as the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, was begun by the early Netherlandish painter Hubert van Eyck, who was later joined by his more famous brother, Jan van Eyck. The work was completed in 1432 and is housed in the Saint Bavo Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium.

The Virgin Annunciate is depicted on the exterior of the right panel of the closed altarpiece. When the Ghent Altarpiece is closed, the exterior panels display a grisaille painting of the Annunciation scene, with the Archangel Gabriel on the left and the Virgin Mary on the right. The Virgin Annunciate portrays Mary at the moment of the Annunciation, when she is informed by Gabriel that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus, the Son of God.

In this panel, Mary is shown in a domestic interior, seated at a reading desk, symbolizing her piety and devotion. She is interrupted from her reading by the angel's message. The Virgin's expression is one of humility and contemplation, capturing her reaction to the divine revelation. Her posture and the folds of her garment are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, characteristic of the van Eycks' work. The use of light and shadow, as well as the realistic depiction of textures and materials, demonstrate the innovative techniques that the van Eycks employed, which contributed to the development of Early Netherlandish painting.

The Virgin Annunciate is notable for its exquisite craftsmanship and the emotional resonance of Mary's portrayal. It is a masterful example of the van Eycks' ability to blend the sacred with the everyday, creating a sense of immediacy and intimacy in their religious scenes. The panel is also an important piece of evidence in the study of the van Eycks' collaborative process and the distribution of labor between the two brothers, as art historians continue to debate their respective contributions to the Ghent Altarpiece.

The Ghent Altarpiece, and by extension the Virgin Annunciate, has been the subject of extensive art historical research and has undergone several conservation treatments. Its value to the history of art and its influence on subsequent generations of artists make it a key work for understanding the innovations and achievements of early 15th-century Northern European painting.
