 | | Robert Campin, the teacher of Rogier van der Weyden, was among the first European painters to break with the more artificial International Gothic style, focusing instead on the connection between religious and secular life. |
 | | In his comprehensive study of Campin, Felix Thürlemann sheds new light on this important era of European painting, a period when the depiction of supernatural shifted to everyday settings, the fascinating use of symbolic messages first appeared, and the use of oils opened up a new world of subtlety and differentiation in the artists palette. |
 | | Robert Campin (1378-1444), born in Tournai, Flanders, was founder of the Netherlandish school of painting. |
