"The Virgin and Child before a Firescreen" is a notable early 15th-century Flemish painting attributed to the Early Netherlandish painter Robert Campin, also known as the Master of Flémalle. This devotional panel painting is renowned for its detailed representation of domestic interiors and its sophisticated use of symbolism, which was characteristic of Campin's work. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary seated in an interior space, holding the Christ Child on her lap, with a firescreen serving as the backdrop. The Virgin is shown in a moment of tender interaction with her son, who reaches up to touch her face.

The work is executed in oil on oak panel, a medium that was becoming increasingly popular at the time due to its ability to capture fine details and its durability compared to the more traditional egg tempera. Campin's mastery of oil painting techniques is evident in the realistic textures and the intricate portrayal of light and shadow in the composition. The firescreen in the painting is not merely a domestic object but is imbued with symbolic meaning, possibly alluding to the protective role of the Virgin or the idea of Christ as the light of the world.

"The Virgin and Child before a Firescreen" is considered an important example of Campin's contribution to the development of Northern Renaissance art, particularly in the use of domestic settings for religious scenes, which would influence later artists such as Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden. The painting's provenance and attribution have been subjects of scholarly research, and it is held in high esteem for its art historical significance as well as its aesthetic qualities. The painting is currently housed in the National Gallery, London, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and the public alike.
