'Virgin and Child' by Robert Campin, National Gallery, London, England

Painted around 1440. Robert Campin (c.1375-79--1444) was a Flemish painter who together with Jan van Eyck initiated the Northern Renaissance. This work shows the Virgin Mary in a rich, elegant robe breastfeeding the infant Jesus in contemporary Flemish surroundings. Campin cleverly placed the round firescreen behind Mary's head to stand for a divine halo.
