"Annunciation and Nativity (1452)" is a significant work by the Early Netherlandish painter Petrus Christus, who was active in Bruges from 1444 until his death in 1475/1476. This artwork is notable for its intricate detail, use of color, and the innovative approach to perspective and space, characteristics that define the Northern Renaissance. Painted on oak panel using oil paints, a medium that was becoming increasingly popular in Northern Europe at the time due to its versatility and durability, the painting measures 127.6 cm × 92.2 cm. It is currently housed in the National Gallery, London.

The painting is divided into two distinct yet interconnected scenes: the Annunciation and the Nativity, which are seminal events in Christian theology. The Annunciation depicts the moment the Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The Nativity scene portrays the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. Christus' work is remarkable for its emotional depth and the vivid portrayal of these biblical events, set against a backdrop that reflects the domestic interiors of 15th-century Flanders, thus bridging the divine with the everyday.

Petrus Christus, a follower of Jan van Eyck, is known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey texture and light. In "Annunciation and Nativity," he demonstrates these skills through the rendering of materials, from the angel's translucent wings to the intricate patterns of the textiles. The work also reflects the influence of Italian Renaissance, particularly in its use of perspective, which Christus may have learned through the works of contemporaries who had traveled to Italy.

"Annunciation and Nativity (1452)" is a testament to the artistic innovations of the 15th century, showcasing the blend of Gothic tradition with the emerging Renaissance ideals of naturalism and spatial coherence. It remains an important piece for the study of Northern Renaissance art, offering insights into the religious, cultural, and artistic contexts of the period.
