The Mérode Altarpiece (c. 1427) is a seminal work of Northern Renaissance art, attributed to the Early Netherlandish painter Robert Campin, who is also known as the Master of Flémalle. This triptych, a three-paneled painting, is renowned for its intricate detail, use of space, and the integration of religious symbolism with scenes of contemporary domestic life. It is widely considered one of the earliest and finest examples of Northern European panel painting.

The altarpiece's central panel depicts the Annunciation, the moment when the Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus, the Son of God. This scene is set in a bourgeois interior, reflecting the contemporary living space of the time, rather than a biblical or heavenly setting. The left panel shows the donors, who are thought to be the couple who commissioned the work, devoutly observing the sacred event. The right panel features Saint Joseph, the husband of Mary, working as a carpenter, a detail that emphasizes the human and domestic aspects of the holy family.

One of the most striking features of the Mérode Altarpiece is its attention to detail and the use of symbolism. Everyday objects are imbued with religious significance, such as the lilies on the table representing Mary's purity, and the extinguished candle symbolizing the presence of the Holy Spirit. The work is also noted for its use of light and perspective, which was innovative for its time and reflects the emerging techniques that would come to define the Northern Renaissance.

Originally created for a private devotional space, the Mérode Altarpiece is now housed in The Cloisters museum in New York City, which is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Its acquisition and subsequent display have allowed for extensive study and appreciation of this masterpiece, which continues to captivate scholars and art lovers alike with its beauty and complexity.
