The Braque Family Triptych (c. 1450) is a renowned Netherlandish oil on oak panel painting by the Early Flemish master Rogier van der Weyden. Commissioned by either Jehan Braque of Tournai or his wife Catherine de Brabant, the triptych is a devotional piece that was intended for private worship. It is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, where it remains an important example of 15th-century Northern Renaissance art.

The central panel of the triptych depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, flanked by angels in a serene, heavenly chamber. The left wing features a portrait of the male donor, traditionally believed to be Jehan Braque, accompanied by Saint John the Baptist, while the right wing shows the female donor, possibly Catherine de Brabant, with Saint Mary Magdalene. The figures are presented in a highly detailed and realistic manner, characteristic of van der Weyden's sophisticated style and his ability to convey deep emotion and piety.

The exterior panels of the triptych, visible when the wings are closed, display the Annunciation scene in grisaille, which gives the illusion of sculpted stone reliefs. This was a common practice in Netherlandish altarpieces of the time, serving both as a protective cover and a visual prelude to the colorful interior scenes.

The Braque Family Triptych is notable for its exquisite detail, use of color, and the emotional intensity of the figures. Van der Weyden's mastery in the rendering of textures, from the luxurious fabrics to the lifelike flesh tones, is evident throughout the work. The triptych's composition and iconography have been the subject of extensive scholarly research, contributing to our understanding of patronage, religious practices, and artistic innovation in the Burgundian Netherlands.

The painting's provenance includes a period in the collection of King William II of the Netherlands before being acquired by the Louvre in 1869. As a masterpiece of Rogier van der Weyden, the Braque Family Triptych continues to captivate audiences and is a key work for the study of Northern Renaissance art.
