"The Annunciation" (ca. 1450) is a notable early Netherlandish painting attributed to Petrus Christus, a leading painter of the Bruges school during the 15th century. This exquisite work of art is a religious painting that depicts the moment in Christian theology when the Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus, an event known as the Annunciation. The painting is renowned for its intricate detail, use of perspective, and the serene and introspective representation of the Virgin Mary, which reflects the devotional practices and theological insights of the time.

Petrus Christus, who was active from 1444 until his death in 1475/1476, is considered one of the successors to Jan van Eyck, and his works are often characterized by a keen observation of naturalistic detail and a sophisticated handling of light. "The Annunciation" is a testament to Christus's skill in these areas, showcasing his ability to blend the sacred with the everyday and to imbue his figures with a sense of grace and solemnity.

The painting is executed in oil on oak panel, a medium that was becoming increasingly popular in the Low Countries at the time due to its versatility and the rich, luminous effects it allowed artists to achieve. The composition of "The Annunciation" is carefully structured, with architectural elements framing the scene and guiding the viewer's eye towards the central figures of Gabriel and Mary. The use of symbolic elements, such as the lily that Gabriel holds (representing Mary's purity), is typical of the iconography of the period and provides deeper layers of meaning to the narrative.

"The Annunciation" by Petrus Christus is held in high esteem not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance as an example of the cultural and artistic flourishing in the Burgundian Netherlands during the 15th century. The painting is an important piece in the oeuvre of Christus and continues to be studied for its stylistic and iconographic contributions to the canon of early Netherlandish painting.
