The Annunciation Triptych, also known as the Mérode Altarpiece, is a seminal work of Northern Renaissance art by the Early Netherlandish painter Robert Campin, also known as the Master of Flémalle. The central panel of this triptych is a highly detailed and complex depiction of the Annunciation, the moment in Christian theology when the Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus, the Son of God.

The central panel of the Annunciation Triptych is a masterpiece of religious symbolism and attention to detail, characteristic of Campin's work. It showcases a domestic interior, which is a significant departure from the more traditional, grandiose settings of earlier Annunciation scenes. This choice reflects the increasing trend in Northern Renaissance art to situate sacred events in more relatable, contemporary environments. The Virgin Mary is depicted in a middle-class Flemish home, seated on the floor in a humble posture of devotion, with an open book on her lap, symbolizing her piety and wisdom.

One of the most striking details of the central panel is the presence of a lily on a stand, which is a traditional symbol of Mary's purity. The light entering the room through the left-hand window, which is interpreted as the Holy Spirit descending upon Mary, is another significant element. The meticulous rendering of textures and surfaces, from the wood of the furniture to the metal of the candlestick and the glass of the windowpanes, demonstrates Campin's virtuosity and his innovative use of oil paints to achieve a variety of effects.

The central panel is flanked by two wings, which when closed, show the donors of the altarpiece kneeling in prayer. The left wing depicts the donors, while the right wing shows Saint Joseph in his workshop, further emphasizing the theme of the divine entering the everyday world.

The Annunciation Triptych is held in high regard not only for its artistic excellence but also for its historical significance as a representation of the evolving tastes and religious practices of the time. It is currently housed in The Cloisters museum in New York, which is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The work is attributed to Campin and his workshop, with the central panel's detail and complexity suggesting the involvement of Campin himself, alongside contributions from his assistants, which may have included the young Rogier van der Weyden.
