The Mérode Altarpiece - The Donors 1428

This painting, "The Mérode Altarpiece - The Donors," is a 1428 work by the Early Netherlandish painter Robert Campin. Depicting a couple, a woman in a white headdress and a man in a black robe, the artwork is a devotional piece meant to connect the couple to the religious scene of the central panel. The painting's realistic details, including the brick wall and the man's rosary, give a sense of the sitter's piety and the importance of their religious life. The painting is a testament to Campin's mastery of oil painting, which allows for a more lifelike and detailed representation of the figures and their environment.
