EDITORS COMMENTS
Master of Flémalle, or Robert Campin (1378-1444), was a renowned Flemish painter active in the early 15th century. This exquisite portrait, titled "Barthélemy Avenel, Secretary to Philip the Good," is believed to have been painted between 1415 and 1440. The artwork is a testament to Campin's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, as evidenced by the intricate details and lifelike quality of the secretary's face and attire. The painting is an oil on wood creation, measuring approximately 33.5 x 24.5 cm. It is currently housed in the Fine Arts Museum of Tournai, Wallonia, Hainaut, Belgium. The interior setting of the portrait, with its rich colors and textures, provides a sense of intimacy and introspection. The secretary's attire, adorned with fur trimmings and a distinctive hat, signifies his high status as a member of the court of Philip the Good. The painting also features a wisent, or European bison, in the background, which is a common motif in Campin's works. The inclusion of this animal could symbolize strength, power, or even the secretary's connection to the natural world. The vertical, upright composition of the portrait adds to the sense of depth and perspective, drawing the viewer in and allowing for a closer examination of the intricacies of the painting. Overall, this portrait is a stunning example of Campin's mastery of oil painting and his ability to capture the human spirit through art.
