The Ghent Altarpiece, also known as the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, is a large and complex 15th-century polyptych altarpiece in St Bavo's Cathedral, Ghent, Belgium. It was completed by the Early Netherlandish painters Hubert and Jan van Eyck in 1432 and is considered a masterpiece of European art and one of the world's treasures. The altarpiece is renowned for its intricate detail, use of color, and pioneering use of oil paint.

One of the most notable panels of the Ghent Altarpiece is the Angel of the Annunciation, which is attributed to Jan van Eyck. This panel is part of the upper register of the closed view of the altarpiece and is located on the left wing. It depicts the angel Gabriel, who is sent by God to announce to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus, the Son of God, marking the Incarnation. Gabriel is shown in a sumptuous ecclesiastical robe, richly adorned with jewels and a crown, symbolizing the regal nature of the message being delivered.

The Angel of the Annunciation is celebrated for its exquisite detail and the use of light, which reflects Jan van Eyck's mastery of oil painting techniques. The angel's robe, for instance, is rendered with meticulous attention to the texture and folds of the fabric, and the light shimmers off the jewels and embroidery, creating a sense of divine radiance. The panel also features inscriptions that echo Gabriel's words, "Ave Gratia Plena" (Hail, full of grace), contributing to the narrative and theological significance of the scene.

The Ghent Altarpiece, including the Angel of the Annunciation panel, has been the subject of extensive art historical research, conservation, and restoration efforts. Its survival through centuries of political and religious turmoil, theft, and wartime looting is a testament to its importance in the canon of Western art. The altarpiece's influence extends beyond its religious significance; it is also a landmark in the history of art for its innovative techniques and visual storytelling. The Angel of the Annunciation exemplifies the transformative impact of the Van Eyck brothers on the art of painting, setting new standards for realism, naturalism, and the representation of light and texture that would influence generations of artists to come.
