The Annunciation (1436) is a renowned Early Netherlandish painting attributed to Jan van Eyck, one of the most significant Northern Renaissance artists. This oil on panel artwork depicts the biblical scene of the Archangel Gabriel announcing to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus, an event known in Christianity as the Annunciation. The painting is celebrated for its exquisite detail, use of light, and symbolic elements, which are characteristic of Van Eyck's sophisticated style and his mastery of oil painting techniques.

Measuring 93 x 37 cm, the painting is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It is believed to have been originally part of a triptych, possibly serving as a left wing, with its companion pieces lost or yet to be identified. The Annunciation showcases Van Eyck's skill in rendering textures and surfaces, from the intricate patterns of the angel's brocaded vestments to the translucent quality of the light streaming through the gothic windows of the architectural setting.

The work is rich in iconography, with numerous symbols embedded within the scene that would have been familiar to a contemporary audience. These include the lilies, which represent Mary's purity, and the dove descending from above, symbolizing the Holy Spirit. The rays of light entering the room carry tiny inscribed words, indicating the moment of divine conception. The detailed depiction of the temple setting, with its Romanesque and Gothic elements, reflects the influence of contemporary architectural developments on Van Eyck's art.

Art historians have extensively studied The Annunciation for its stylistic and technical aspects, as well as for its place within the broader context of Van Eyck's oeuvre and Northern Renaissance art. The painting is considered a masterpiece of 15th-century Flemish art and continues to be a subject of scholarly interest for its complex symbolism, narrative power, and Van Eyck's pioneering use of oil paint, which allowed for a level of realism and detail that was unprecedented at the time.
