The ''Annunciation with St. Margaret and St. Ansanus'' is a 1333 tempera and gold leaf on wood panel painting by the Italian medieval artist Simone Martini, housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. This masterpiece of Gothic art, co-signed by Martini's brother-in-law Lippo Memmi, is renowned for its elegance, use of line, and incorporation of International Gothic aesthetic principles. The painting depicts the biblical scene of the Angel Gabriel sent by God to announce to the Virgin Mary that she would miraculously conceive and become the mother of Jesus, the Son of God, marking his Incarnation in Christian belief.

Martini's ''Annunciation'' is celebrated for its refined use of line and the graceful interaction between the figures of Gabriel and Mary, who are positioned in an architectural setting that suggests a richly adorned church interior. The figures are elongated and their postures are serpentine, a characteristic of the Gothic style. Gabriel, depicted in the act of greeting Mary, is shown with a detailed set of wings and wears a robe with intricate patterns, while Mary, taken aback by the announcement, draws back in a gesture of humility and surprise.

The painting is also notable for its detailed depiction of the lilies that Gabriel holds, which symbolize Mary's purity, and the Holy Spirit descending towards her, reinforcing the divine nature of the event. The background is adorned with gold leaf, which was commonly used in medieval panel paintings to create a luminous effect that suggested a heavenly atmosphere.

The ''Annunciation'' is not only a religious icon but also a work of great historical significance, reflecting the stylistic transitions of the early 14th century and the increasing influence of the Sienese School, to which Martini belonged. The painting's influence extended beyond its immediate context, impacting the development of European art and serving as a benchmark for the depiction of the Annunciation in Western art.

Martini's ''Annunciation'' has been the subject of extensive art historical scholarship and remains a key work for understanding the evolution of European painting during a period marked by both adherence to tradition and the seeds of innovation that would later flourish during the Renaissance.
