"The Annunciation" (1494) by Jean Hey is a diptych painting that depicts the moment when the Angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will bear the Son of God. This panel painting is composed of two separate panels, the left one showing Mary kneeling in prayer, the right panel showcasing the Angel Gabriel with a scroll in his hand. The piece is characteristic of Early Netherlandish art, characterized by its detailed rendering of figures and drapery, as well as its focus on religious themes.
