Tríptico da Anunciação (retábulo de Mérode)

Workshop of Robert Campin Netherlandish

On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 19

O Arcanjo Gabriel aparece na casa da Virgem e um diminuto menino Jesus entra pela janela transportado sobre raios de luz. A vela sobre a mesa foi apagada com a entrada dos visitantes, mas a Virgem absorta na sua leitura não parece ter notado. Na ala direita do retábulo, São José está ocupado com sua carpintaria. No painel esquerdo, o doador, Peter Engelbrecht (identificado pelos emblemas heráldicos nos vitrais das janelas do painel) e sua esposa são testemunhas da Anunciação. Uma das primeiras obras-primas da pintura a óleo, este tríptico é um tema frequente com abordagem inovadora e grande riqueza de detalhes, conforme visto no panorama da cidade através da janela de José.
