          Melchior Broederlam is the most important Flemish painter of the generation before Jan van Eyck. In his early years he entered into the service of Lodewijk van Male, Earl of Flanders.

          After that he works as court painter and valet de chambre for Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy.

          For the Carthusian cloister in Champmol near Dijon, in collaboration with the sculptor Jacob de Baerze from Dendermonde, he completes two works: the Crucifixion Altarpiece and the Retable of the Saints and Martyrs (Dijon, Musée des Beaux-Arts).

          The Duke is personally involved with this ambitious project.

          The Crucifixion Altarpiece is a multimedia altarpiece, with painted exterior panels by Melchior Broederlam and an interior carved by Jacques de Baerze.

          Broederlam, who has his studio in Ypres, receives the commission to paint the sculpture groups on the interior sides, to gild the frames and to paint the exterior panels with tableaux.

          Only two of the painted exterior panels of the Crucifixion have survived the sands of time, while those of the Retable of the Saints and Martyrs have been lost.
