Robert Campin - Virgin and Child in an Apse - fine art print

General description by The Metropolitan Museum of Art website (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

Next to Jan van Eyck, Robert Campin was one of the founders of early Netherlandish painting whose celebrated Merode Triptych is displayed at the Cloisters. Based on a lost original of about 1420, this picture is among the earliest of over sixty variants that attest to the burgeoning cult of the Virgin during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in the Burgundian Netherlands. While the motif of the suckling Child lying in his mother’s arms derives from the Byzantine icon type known as the galaktotrophousa, the music-making angels refer to liturgical celebration, evoking the numerous contemporary hymns which praised the Virgin.
