The Annunciation by Jean Pucelle is a significant work of Gothic manuscript illumination, created in the early 14th century. Jean Pucelle, a renowned French manuscript illuminator, is celebrated for his intricate and innovative style, which blends elements of Gothic art with emerging naturalistic trends. The Annunciation, a central theme in Christian art, depicts the moment when the Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Pucelle's rendition of The Annunciation is part of the Hours of Jeanne d'Evreux, a richly decorated book of hours commissioned by King Charles IV of France for his queen, Jeanne d'Evreux. This manuscript, completed around 1324-1328, is considered one of Pucelle's masterpieces and a pinnacle of Gothic illumination. The Hours of Jeanne d'Evreux is housed in The Cloisters, a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The Annunciation scene in this manuscript is notable for its delicate and detailed portrayal of figures and architectural elements. Pucelle's use of grisaille, a technique involving shades of gray to create a sculptural effect, is particularly striking. This method, combined with selective touches of color, enhances the three-dimensionality and realism of the figures. The composition is characterized by its elegant linearity and the graceful interaction between Gabriel and Mary, set within a richly decorated Gothic architectural framework.

Pucelle's work demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of spatial representation and human emotion, marking a transition from the more rigid and stylized forms of earlier Gothic art to a more naturalistic and expressive approach. The Annunciation by Jean Pucelle not only exemplifies the artistic achievements of its time but also provides valuable insights into the devotional practices and cultural milieu of 14th-century France.
