What to look for

Northern Renaissance: compared with the Italian Renaissance it is less idealised and more detailed: wrinkles, every hair, sharp-edged objects and deep, jewel-like colour.

Robert Campin (c. 1378 – 26 April 1444), now usually identified with the Master of Flémalle (earlier the Master of the Merode Triptych before the discovery of three other similar panels), was a master painter who, along with Jan van Eyck, initiated the development of early Netherlandish painting, a key development in the early Northern Renaissance.
