The Werl Altarpiece (left wing) is a significant work by the Early Netherlandish painter Robert Campin, also known as the Master of Flémalle. Created in 1438, this altarpiece is a prime example of Campin's mastery in the use of oil paint, a medium that allowed for greater detail and realism compared to the tempera used by many of his contemporaries. The left wing of the Werl Altarpiece depicts Saint John the Baptist, a figure of great importance in Christian iconography, known for his role in baptizing Jesus Christ and heralding his arrival.

In this panel, Saint John the Baptist is portrayed with his traditional attributes, including a lamb, which symbolizes Christ as the "Lamb of God," and a staff with a cross, emphasizing his role as a precursor to Jesus. The meticulous attention to detail in the textures of the saint's hair, skin, and garments showcases Campin's skill in rendering lifelike figures. The background of the panel features an intricate landscape, adding depth and context to the scene, and demonstrating the artist's ability to integrate figures into a cohesive and believable space.

The Werl Altarpiece was commissioned by Heinrich von Werl, a wealthy German nobleman, for a private chapel. The altarpiece originally consisted of three panels, with the central panel and the right wing now lost. The left wing, however, remains a testament to Campin's innovative approach to composition and his pioneering use of oil paint, which influenced subsequent generations of Northern European artists.

The work is notable not only for its artistic qualities but also for its historical significance, as it reflects the religious and cultural milieu of the early 15th century. The detailed iconography and the use of contemporary settings and attire provide valuable insights into the devotional practices and artistic conventions of the time. Today, the left wing of the Werl Altarpiece is housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, where it continues to be studied and admired by art historians and enthusiasts alike.
