From the collection of Fitzwilliam Museum
The Annunciation (polyptych) is a 1514 oil by Jacob van Utrecht, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
The painting depicts a scene with two figures, one of whom is an angel. The angel is holding a scroll with text on it, while the other figure is holding a book. The background of the painting is not clearly visible. The angel's wings are prominent, and the figure holding the book appears to be in a state of contemplation. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and reverence. This painting is held at the Fitzwilliam Museum.
Jacob Claesz van Utrecht, also named by his signature Jacobus Traiectensis (c. 1479 – after 1525) was a Flemish early Renaissance painter who worked in Antwerp and Lübeck.
