For centuries, one of the greatest masterpieces of the 15th century remained anonymous. This compelling volume unravels the brilliant, enigmatic career of Barthélemy d'Eyck, tracing how modern scholarship finally unmasked the secret genius behind the legendary Aix Annunciation Triptych.

The Aix Annunciation Triptych (1443-1444) is attributed to Barthélemy d'Eyck and is widely celebrated as a masterpiece of fifteenth-century Western European painting. Based on an in-depth study of the altarpiece, this book offers a more complete picture of the artist's artistic origins, career, workshop practice, and professional network.

Combining art-historical, archival, and technical approaches, this study brings together newly discovered documents and provides a reappraisal of the patron and the liturgical context of the work. Furthermore, it places the Aix Annunciation Triptych within the broader landscape of fifteenth-century Provençal altarpieces and presents the results of a material and technical analysis conducted on the surviving fragments. These findings resolve long-standing questions regarding the work's original format and significantly deepen our understanding of Barthélemy's artistic training and methods.
