Tríptico de la Anunciación (Retablo de Mérode)

Workshop of Robert Campin Netherlandish
ca. 1427–32
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 19
El Arcángel Gabriel aparece en la casa de la Virgen, y un diminuto Niño Jesús entra por la ventana transportado sobre rayos de luz. La vela sobre la mesa se ha apagado al entrar los visitantes, pero la Virgen absorta en su lectura no parece haberse dado cuenta. En el ala derecha del retablo, San José se afana en su taller de carpintería. En el panel izquierdo, el donante, Peter Engelbrecht (identificado por los emblemas heráldicos en las vidrieras de las ventanas en el panel central) y su esposa son testigos de la Anunciación. Una de las primeras obras maestras de la pintura al óleo, este tríptico trata un tema frecuente de manera innovadora y con gran riqueza de detalles, uno de los cuales es el panorama de la ciudad visto a través de la ventana del taller.
