"The Annunciation from Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" is a highly celebrated illuminated manuscript folio, which stands as one of the most exquisite examples of International Gothic art. Created by the Limbourg brothers, particularly attributed to Pol de Limbourg, this folio is part of the "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry," a book of hours commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, around the turn of the 15th century. The Annunciation scene is traditionally recognized as the beginning of the narrative cycle within the manuscript and is celebrated for its intricate detail, rich color palette, and the use of luxurious materials.

The folio depicts the moment of the Angel Gabriel's announcement to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and become the mother of Jesus Christ, a pivotal event in Christian theology known as the Annunciation. The scene is set within a richly decorated architectural space that reflects the splendor of contemporary French Gothic interiors. The Limbourg brothers' work is distinguished by its refined use of perspective and light, which was innovative for its time and contributed to the development of Northern Renaissance art.

The manuscript itself is a masterpiece of the art of illumination, combining religious significance with the secular interests of its patron, the Duke of Berry. The Limbourg brothers, originally from the Netherlands, were among the most renowned manuscript illuminators in Europe. Their work on the "Très Riches Heures" showcases the synthesis of Northern European manuscript illumination traditions with the influence of Italianate elements, reflecting the cultural exchanges of the period.

The Annunciation folio is particularly noted for its vivid colors, achieved through the use of precious pigments and gold leaf, which have retained their brilliance over the centuries. The attention to detail in the figures' sumptuous garments, the ornate furniture, and the naturalistic elements of the room, such as the tiles and windows, exemplify the Limbourg brothers' skill in creating a sense of depth and realism within a two-dimensional space.

Today, the "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" is held in the collection of the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, and remains one of the most important and best-preserved manuscripts from the medieval period. The Annunciation folio continues to be a subject of scholarly study and admiration, representing a high point in the history of manuscript illumination and Gothic art.
