- Annunciation
- by Robert Campin
- from the Merode Altarpiece
- 1425-28
-
- A remarkably unconcerned Virgin leans
against Campin's favourite bench settle, with a footboard, gothic
tracery at either end and a latticework back.
- A brass cauldron and towel indicate
a corner for washing?
- Candles are placed in hinged brackets
on the hooded fireplace. The top lights of the window have expensive
patterned glass, but the lower lights have only a mesh and wooden
shutters.
