Abstract (en)

Discusses the history, composition, and style of the anonymous early Netherlandish painting of the Virgin and Child before a Firescreen in the National Gallery, London; concludes that it was painted ca.1440 and that it is a creative amalgam of elements taken from Campin and Rogier van der Weyden; reports on conservation and technical analyses, and gives details of the 19th c. additions, presumably made by an Italian restorer.
