Triptyque de l'Annonciation (autel de Mérode)

Workshop of Robert Campin Netherlandish
ca. 1427–32
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 19
L’archange Gabriel apparaît à la Vierge, accompagné d’un minuscule Christ enfant porté par les rayons de lumière qui traversent la fenêtre. Le mouvement a éteint la chandelle sur la table, mais la Vierge, toute à sa lecture, n’en paraît pas consciente. Sur le panneau droit du retable, saint Joseph le charpentier s’affaire dans son atelier. Sur celui de gauche, le donateur Peter Engelbrecht (identifié grâce aux armoiries qui ornent les vitraux du panneau central) et sa femme assistent à l’Annonciation. Si ce triptyque, l’un des premiers chefs-d’œuvre de la peinture à l’huile, présente un sujet récurrent, il se distingue par son originalité et le raffinement des détails comme le paysage urbain que l’on aperçoit à la fenêtre de Joseph.
