"Blessing Christ and Praying Virgin" is a diptych created around 1424 by the Early Netherlandish painter Robert Campin, who is often identified with the Master of Flémalle. This work exemplifies Campin's pioneering approach to realism and his innovative use of oil paint, which allowed for greater detail and a more lifelike representation of textures and light. The diptych consists of two panels: one depicting Christ in a gesture of blessing and the other showing the Virgin Mary in prayer.

The Blessing Christ panel portrays Jesus with a serene and compassionate expression, his right hand raised in a gesture of benediction while his left hand holds a transparent orb, symbolizing his dominion over the world. The meticulous attention to detail in Christ's facial features, hair, and the folds of his garments highlights Campin's skill in rendering human anatomy and fabric textures. The background is typically dark, focusing the viewer's attention on the figure of Christ and enhancing the sense of depth and three-dimensionality.

The Praying Virgin panel features the Virgin Mary with her hands clasped in prayer, her head slightly bowed in a gesture of humility and devotion. She is depicted with a delicate and serene expression, embodying purity and grace. The intricate detailing of her veil and robe, along with the subtle play of light and shadow, demonstrates Campin's mastery of oil painting techniques. The background is similarly dark, creating a cohesive visual connection between the two panels.

Together, the panels of "Blessing Christ and Praying Virgin" reflect the theological and devotional themes prevalent in the early 15th century, emphasizing the intercessory role of the Virgin Mary and the salvific power of Christ. The diptych format, with its hinged panels, suggests that it may have been used for private devotion, allowing the viewer to meditate on the divine figures in an intimate and personal manner. This work is a testament to Robert Campin's significant contributions to the development of Northern Renaissance art, particularly in his realistic portrayal of sacred subjects and his innovative use of oil paint.
