The Merode Altarpiece, attributed to Robert Campin, is a triptych created around 1425-1430 that exemplifies early Northern Renaissance art. It depicts the Annunciation, featuring the Virgin Mary and the Angel Gabriel in a contemporary domestic setting, which highlights the integration of sacred and everyday life. The intricate details and symbolism, such as the lilies representing purity and the candle symbolizing divine presence, enhance the spiritual narrative. Additionally, the use of oil paint allows for rich textures and vibrant colors, showcasing Campin's mastery of the medium.
