The Visitation, created between 1393 and 1399 by the Flemish painter Melchior Broederlam, is a significant example of early Netherlandish painting. Broederlam, who served as the court painter to Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, is renowned for his contributions to the International Gothic style, which is characterized by its elegant and intricate detail, as well as its use of rich, vibrant colors.

The Visitation is part of a larger altarpiece, the Dijon Altarpiece, which was commissioned for the Chartreuse de Champmol, a Carthusian monastery near Dijon, France. This altarpiece is notable for its combination of painting and sculpture, with Broederlam responsible for the painted panels and Jacques de Baerze for the carved wooden figures. The Visitation panel specifically depicts the biblical scene of the Virgin Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. This moment is celebrated for its significance in Christian theology, symbolizing the recognition of Jesus as the Messiah even before his birth.

Broederlam's work on The Visitation is distinguished by its meticulous attention to detail and the use of a sophisticated color palette. The figures are rendered with a delicate realism, and the landscape and architectural elements in the background demonstrate an advanced understanding of perspective for the time. The panel also reflects the influence of Italian art, particularly in its use of space and the naturalistic portrayal of the figures, which was innovative for Northern European art in the late 14th century.

The Visitation, along with the other panels of the Dijon Altarpiece, represents a transitional moment in the history of art, bridging the gap between the medieval and Renaissance periods. Broederlam's work is celebrated for its technical skill, emotional depth, and its role in the development of early Netherlandish painting.
