''The Annunciation and the Visitation'' (1393-1399) is a significant diptych by the Early Netherlandish painter Melchior Broederlam, commissioned by Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, for the Chartreuse de Champmol, a Carthusian monastery in Dijon, France. This work is among the earliest known examples of panel painting in the Burgundian Netherlands and is considered a pioneering piece in the development of Northern Renaissance art due to its innovative use of space, perspective, and narrative detail.

The diptych consists of two hinged panels, each depicting a scene from the life of the Virgin Mary. On the left panel is ''The Annunciation'', illustrating the moment when the Angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will bear the Son of God. The right panel shows ''The Visitation'', the event where Mary, pregnant with Jesus, visits her cousin Elizabeth, who is also expecting a child, John the Baptist. These scenes are set within richly detailed architectural and natural settings that showcase Broederlam's skill in rendering space and depth, a technique that was groundbreaking at the time.

Broederlam's work is characterized by a vivid use of color and meticulous attention to detail, both in the figures and the surrounding environment. The panels are noted for their sophisticated iconography and the integration of Gothic architectural elements, which serve to frame the sacred events. The backgrounds of the paintings feature a blend of both realistic and fantastical elements, reflecting the transition from the medieval to the Renaissance artistic sensibilities.

Originally part of an altarpiece, the panels of ''The Annunciation and the Visitation'' are now housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon. The diptych is an essential piece for understanding the evolution of panel painting in Northern Europe and provides valuable insight into the religious and artistic culture of the Burgundian court at the end of the 14th century.
