''Presentation in the Temple and Flight to Egypt'' (1393–1399) is a significant diptych by the Early Netherlandish painter Melchior Broederlam, commissioned by Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, for the Chartreuse de Champmol, a Carthusian monastery in Dijon, France. The diptych is notable for being one of the earliest known examples of oil painting in the history of Western art and represents a pivotal moment in the transition from Gothic to Early Renaissance art.

The left panel of the diptych depicts the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, a biblical event described in the Gospel of Luke, where the infant Jesus is presented to Simeon by the Virgin Mary and Joseph. The right panel illustrates the Flight into Egypt, where the Holy Family is shown fleeing to Egypt to escape King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents. Both scenes are set within elaborate architectural frames, which are painted to give the illusion of sculptural relief, a technique that reflects the influence of International Gothic style.

Broederlam's work is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a rich use of color, which was enhanced by the then-novel technique of oil painting. This allowed for greater subtlety in shading and a more vivid depiction of light and texture. The diptych's panels also showcase the artist's skill in portraying complex narratives within a single frame, incorporating various figures and actions that guide the viewer's eye through the story.

The ''Presentation in the Temple and Flight to Egypt'' is not only a masterpiece of Broederlam's oeuvre but also an important artifact in the study of the development of panel painting in Northern Europe. The diptych's historical and artistic significance is underscored by its provenance and the fact that it was created for a ducal patron, reflecting the growing status of visual arts during the period.

Today, the diptych is housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the evolution of painting techniques and its representation of late medieval devotional practices.
