EDITORS COMMENTS
This triptych, titled "Triptych of Jean de Witte" transports viewers back to the 15th century with its exquisite craftsmanship and rich symbolism. The central panel showcases a tender depiction of the Virgin Mary and Child Jesus, painted in oil on oak panel by an anonymous Flemish artist. The scene unfolds with the Madonna seated on an ornate throne, adorned in vibrant red robes symbolizing her royal status. She cradles the infant Christ lovingly in her arms, radiating maternal tenderness. The baby Jesus gazes up at his mother with innocent eyes, embodying purity and divine grace. Surrounding them is a carefully crafted composition that enhances their sacred bond. Lilies, known as symbols of purity and innocence, adorn the foreground while a rose bush climbs against a wall in the background. These floral elements further emphasize Mary's role as both mother and spiritual figure. The meticulous attention to detail seen throughout this artwork exemplifies the skill of the Flemish School artists from this era. With every brushstroke meticulously applied, they created a masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences today. Currently housed at Musees Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique in Brussels, Belgium, this triptych invites us to reflect upon themes of love, devotion, and spirituality through its timeless beauty.
