The artwork titled “Pierre Bladelin Triptych” was created by Rogier van der Weyden between 1445 and 1450. Executed in oil on panel, this triptych belongs to the Northern Renaissance art movement and measures 91 x 89 cm. It is a religious painting and currently resides in the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, Germany.
The triptych is composed of three panels depicting religious themes. The left panel portrays the Annunciation, where the angel Gabriel appears to the Virgin Mary. The central panel illustrates the Nativity scene, with the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and the infant Jesus in a humble manger, accompanied by adoring angels and visitors. In the right panel, there is a portrayal of saints and perhaps the donor of the painting, Pierre Bladelin, shown in an attitude of reverence. The artwork showcases intricate detailing and rich coloration typical of the Northern Renaissance, emphasizing piety and devotion.
