The Masterpiece of Early Netherlandish Painting

Madonna in the Church, also known as The Virgin in the Church, is a small oil panel by the early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck. This masterpiece was probably executed between c. 1438-1440 and depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Child Jesus in a Gothic cathedral. The painting's dimensions are small enough to be almost considered a miniature, measuring only 31 cm × 14 cm.

A Discovered Masterpiece

The attribution of Madonna in the Church reflects the progression and trends of 19th and 20th-century scholarship on Early Netherlandish art. The panel was discovered in 1850, but its significance was not recognized until later. Today, it is considered one of Jan van Eyck's most important works.

A Hidden Diptych

Most art historians believe that there are a number of indicators that the panel was the left-hand wing of a dismantled diptych. The frame contains clasps, implying it was once hinged to another panel. At ArtsDot.com, you can find high-quality reproductions of this masterpiece as well as other works by Jan van Eyck.
