Seilern Triptych

The Seilern Triptych (or Triptych with the Entombment of Christ), variously dated c. 1410-15 or c 1420-25 is a large oil and gold leaf on panel, fixed winged triptych altarpiece by the Early Netherlandish painter Robert Campin. It is the earliest of two fully intact triptychs attributed to him. It details the events of Christ’s passion; the iconography has been established as associated with the liturgy of Holy Week. The panels from left to right detail three stations of the cycle of the Passion of Jesus; the crucifixion, the burial and the resurrection.
