''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. The work is renowned for its detailed representation of domestic interiors and its sophisticated use of symbolism, which was characteristic of Northern Renaissance art. 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. This firescreen, which gives the painting its name, is adorned with an image of the unicorn, a symbol of purity often associated with the Virgin Mary in medieval and Renaissance iconography.

The painting is executed in oil on oak panel, a medium that was becoming increasingly popular in the early 15th century due to its ability to capture fine details and its durability compared to the more traditional egg tempera on wood. Campin's work is distinguished by its meticulous attention to textures and surfaces, from the rich fabrics of the clothing to the intricate patterns of the firescreen and the realistic depiction of household objects. The domestic setting is imbued with a sense of sanctity, blurring the lines between the sacred and the everyday.
