The Mérode Altarpiece (detail 2) is a significant component of a triptych painted by the Early Netherlandish painter Robert Campin, also known as the Master of Flémalle, around 1427. This artwork is renowned for its intricate detail and the use of symbolism, which was characteristic of the Northern Renaissance. The Mérode Altarpiece is celebrated for its detailed domestic scenes that include religious themes depicted in a contemporary Flemish setting.

Detail 2 of the altarpiece specifically focuses on the central panel, which portrays the Annunciation, a common theme in Christian art depicting the moment the Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This scene is set in a bourgeois Flemish home, reflecting Campin's innovation in integrating biblical themes with everyday life. The room is filled with objects that hold symbolic meaning, enhancing the spiritual narrative with layers of iconographic significance. For instance, lilies in a jug symbolize Mary's purity, while the extinguished candle represents the incarnation of Christ.

This work is pivotal not only for its devotional theme but also for its pioneering role in the development of oil painting techniques and its detailed observation of natural light and texture, which would influence many subsequent artists in the region. The Mérode Altarpiece is currently housed in The Cloisters museum in New York, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
