Robert Campin

Robert Campin was the leading painter of Tournai for some thirty years and, with Jan van Eyck, a founder of Early Netherlandish painting. No surviving work is signed or documented as his, but he is now usually identified with the Master of Flémalle, whose panels set sacred scenes in solid, cluttered Flemish rooms. His workshop trained Rogier van der Weyden and Jacques Daret. In 1432 he was prosecuted for an affair with a woman named Laurence Polette.
