Introduction of Entombment Triptych:

The Entombment Triptych is believed to be the earliest surving work of Robert Campin (C.1375-1444), also known as the Master of Flemalle. With Jan Van Eyck (C.1385-1441). Campin is considered to be one of the first great masters of the early Netherlandish School, which represented a radical break with the International Gothic style.

Robert Campin Biography:

Robert Campin (c. 1375 – 26 April 1444), now usually identified as the artist known as the Master of Flémalle, is usually considered the first great master of Flemish and Early Netherlandish painting. This had been a matter of controversy for decades; Campin's life is relatively well documented for the period, but no works in assessable condition could be securely connected with him, whilst a corpus of work had been attached to the unidentified "Master of Flémalle", named after the supposed origin of a work.

The Entombment Triptych (or "Seilern Triptych" Courtauld Institute, London) is usually considered Campin's earliest work, dated to around 1425. The central panel shows his debt to the sculpture of the time (Campin was known to have polychromed several statues). After this, he painted the Marriage of the Virgin and Nativity (Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon) around 1420-1425.

Around 1425-1428 Campin painted the Mérode Altarpiece, a triptych (three paneled paintings) commissioned for private use. The Annunciation occupies the central panel. The Archangel Gabriel is shown approaching Mary, who sits reading. She is depicted in a well-kept middle-class Flemish home. Several works attributed to Robert Campin may be seen in the Hermitage, Prado, and the National Gallery (London).
