The Dijon Altarpiece, crafted by Melchior Broederlam, is a significant example of early Netherlandish painting, dating back to the late 14th century. Commissioned for the Chartreuse de Champmol, a Carthusian monastery near Dijon, France, the altarpiece was part of a larger ensemble created for the Duke of Burgundy, Philip the Bold. Broederlam, a prominent painter from the Southern Netherlands, was known for his detailed and vibrant style, which is evident in this work.

The altarpiece consists of two large painted panels that serve as the exterior wings of a sculpted altarpiece by Jacques de Baerze. These panels depict scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary and the infancy of Christ, specifically the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Presentation in the Temple, and the Flight into Egypt. Broederlam's use of rich colors and intricate details, along with his ability to convey narrative through expressive figures and landscapes, marks a transition from the medieval to the early Renaissance style.

Broederlam's work is notable for its innovative use of space and perspective, which was advanced for its time. The landscapes in the background of the panels show a keen observation of nature and a sophisticated understanding of depth, which was relatively new in European painting. This approach helped lay the groundwork for the developments in perspective that would characterize the Renaissance.

The Dijon Altarpiece remains an important work for its artistic and historical significance, reflecting the cultural and religious milieu of the Burgundian court. Today, it is housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the evolution of European art.
