Werl Triptych
Robert Campin Β· 1438
Why it's great
Saint Barbara reads by the fireplace in a cozy room, with a little towel, a candle and a window onto the street. Robert Campin painted this in 1438, and it is full of ordinary things from a house in Flanders.

Robert Campin was a painter from Tournai, in today's Belgium, born around 1375. He painted solid figures in down-to-earth rooms full of everyday things, and the great Rogier van der Weyden was probably his pupil. He died in 1444.
