The Mérode Altarpiece is an early 15th-century triptych painting by the Flemish painter Robert Campin, also known as the Master of Flémalle. This exquisite work of Northern Renaissance art is renowned for its detailed depiction of the Annunciation, taking place in a domestic setting that reflects the contemporary life of the period. The altarpiece is named after the Mérode family, who were the private collectors that owned the piece during the 19th century.

The triptych format of the Mérode Altarpiece consists of three panels. The central panel vividly portrays the Archangel Gabriel visiting the Virgin Mary to announce that she will be the mother of Jesus Christ, a scene rich with symbolic elements and meticulous attention to the textures and surfaces of the domestic interior. The left panel depicts the donors, who are shown in a garden, kneeling in devotion as they witness the sacred event taking place in the adjacent room. The right panel features Saint Joseph, the husband of Mary, working as a carpenter, a scene that includes various tools of his trade, further grounding the divine event in the realm of the everyday.

Campin's work is celebrated for its pioneering use of oil paints, which allowed for greater manipulation of light and detail than the tempera paints that were commonly used at the time. The altarpiece's striking realism and the use of perspective mark it as a significant departure from the more stylized and symbolic art of the Middle Ages, heralding the changes that would define the Renaissance.

The Mérode Altarpiece is currently held at The Cloisters museum in New York City, which is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Its acquisition in 1956 significantly enhanced the museum's collection of early Netherlandish paintings. The piece continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and is widely appreciated for its artistic and historical significance, offering insight into the devotional practices, material culture, and artistic innovations of the early 15th century.
