Robert Campin, ca. (1375–1444)

• Was a Flemish and Early Netherlandish painter.
• Campin's identity and the attribution of the paintings in both the "Campin" and "Master of Flémalle" groupings have been a matter of controversy for decades.
• Campin was married to Ysabel de Stocquain.
• The couple was childless.
• He had an affair with Laurence Polette, for which he was prosecuted in 1432 and sentenced to banishment for a year.
• Margaret of Burgundy, wife of the Count of Holland and sister of John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy intervened on his behalf, and this was reduced to a fine.
• Campin's apprentices Rogier van der Weyden and Jacques Daret were accepted as masters into the guild of painters.
• The displayed painting is a crop from: Robert Campin, A Man and a Woman, c. 1435.
