"Saint Barbara" (1438) is a painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Robert Campin, also known as the Master of Flémalle. This artwork is notable for its detailed depiction of the eponymous saint and its representation of early Netherlandish art. The painting portrays Saint Barbara, a Christian martyr from the 3rd century, seated against a backdrop of a Gothic church under construction, a reference to her status as the patron saint of architects and builders.

The panel measures 101 cm by 47 cm and is executed in oil on oak wood. It is currently housed in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp. "Saint Barbara" is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, use of rich colors, and sophisticated use of light and shadow, which were innovative techniques during the time of its creation. The work is also significant for its symbolic elements and the portrayal of contemporary architecture, which provides insight into the period's construction methods and tools.

Robert Campin, considered one of the great masters of the early 15th century, was a leading figure in the development of Northern Renaissance art. His works are known for their realism and complexity. "Saint Barbara" is often discussed in conjunction with two other panels believed to be part of the same altarpiece or triptych: "The Annunciation" and a panel featuring "Saint Joseph as a Carpenter," both of which are held at The Cloisters in New York City.

The painting of Saint Barbara is particularly praised for its narrative quality and the serene dignity of the saint, who is depicted reading a book, symbolizing her wisdom and learning. The unfinished state of the church in the background has been interpreted as a metaphor for the incomplete state of human knowledge or the ongoing process of spiritual growth.

As a significant work by Robert Campin, "Saint Barbara" is an important piece for the study of early Netherlandish painting, offering a window into the cultural and religious sensibilities of the 15th century, as well as the technical advancements in the medium of oil painting that would come to define the Northern Renaissance.
