About the artist
From 1406, Campin actively worked in Tournai, where he led the city's most acclaimed painting workshop for three decades. His works include the life-sised panels initially displayed at Flémalle and presently in Frankfurt, the National Gallery's 'Virgin and Child before a Firescreen,' and 'Virgin and Child in an Interior'. His most recognised masterpiece, the Mérode Altarpiece, dates back to 1425–28.
Campin's artistic style, reflecting intricate realism, is reminiscent of Burgundian sculpture and early Florentine Renaissance artists. Despite his personal tribulations, including involvement in the early 1420s' Brotherhoods revolt and an illicit affair that resulted in imprisonment, Campin retained his position and workshopuntil he died in 1444.
