Annunciation Triptych (Merode Altarpiece) (painting (visual work); Workshop of Robert Campin (Netherlandish, ca. 1375–1444 Tour...; ca. 1427-1432; Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City, New York state, U...; 56.70a–c; )

Note: This triptych belongs to a group of paintings associated with the Tournai workshop of Robert Campin (ca. 1375–1444), sometimes called the Master of Flémalle. Documents indicate that he hired at least two assistants, the young Rogier van der Weyden (ca. 1400–1464) and Jacques Daret (ca. 1404–1468). Stylistic and technical evidence suggests that the altarpiece was executed in phases.
