"Miracle of the Rod and Betrothal of the Virgin" is a notable panel painting attributed to the Early Netherlandish painter Robert Campin, also known as the Master of Flémalle. This artwork forms part of a larger series depicting the Life of Saint Joseph, which is believed to have been created in the first half of the 15th century, around 1420. The panel illustrates two interconnected events from the apocryphal stories of the life of the Virgin Mary, which were widely popular in medieval Christian iconography.

The left side of the painting, "Miracle of the Rod," shows the moment when Joseph is chosen as the husband of the Virgin Mary. According to the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies, when Mary reached a marriageable age, the High Priest gathered the widowers of Israel, and Joseph was among them. Each man brought a rod, and Joseph's rod miraculously blossomed, signifying God's choice of him as Mary's spouse. Campin's depiction captures the divine intervention with an angel present, emphasizing the miraculous nature of the event.

On the right side, "Betrothal of the Virgin," the scene transitions to the betrothal ceremony. Joseph is shown placing a ring on Mary's finger, formalizing their engagement in the presence of the High Priest and other witnesses. This moment is a significant event in Christian narratives, as it sets the stage for the Incarnation and the birth of Jesus Christ.

Robert Campin, one of the most influential artists of the 15th century, is renowned for his detailed and realistic portrayal of figures and domestic interiors. His work on the "Miracle of the Rod and Betrothal of the Virgin" is no exception, showcasing his skill in rendering textures, light, and space to create a convincing narrative. The painting is a testament to the artistic innovations of the Northern Renaissance, which included a heightened attention to detail and a focus on domesticity and realism.

The panel is executed in oil on oak and is part of a larger altarpiece or a series of panels that were likely intended for private devotion. The exact original location and patron of the work remain unknown, but it is a significant example of Campin's contribution to the development of panel painting in the early 15th century. Today, the painting is held in a museum collection, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
