"Two Wings of a Triptych with the Portraits of Julien de Brouckere and his Wife Elisabeth Canneel" is an anonymous work from 1584. The two panels, which were once part of a larger triptych, depict the couple in a formal pose. The man, dressed in black, stands before a landscape while the woman, in a dark blue gown, stands before a similar landscape. The paintings are characterized by their realistic detail and the strong presence of the subjects. The date, "1584", appears prominently on one panel, indicating the year of the work's creation. This artwork would have been commissioned by a wealthy family, likely to commemorate the couple or to serve as part of their family chapel.
