Triptych with the Nativity and the Annunciation

In the style of the Master of the Orléans Triptych French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 537

Comparison of this triptych with the work of an early Renaissance French enamel painter known as the Master of the Orléans Triptych, whose artistic identity was first recognized in an enamel triptych depicting the Annunciation in the collection of the Musée HIstorique et Archéologique de l'Orléanais, Orléans, shows that the anonymous painter of the Metropolitan's acquisition tended to repeat the master's compositions, but with the kinds of generalized form and abbreviated detail that are usually associated with workshop production.
