Madonna of Chancellor Rolin

Madonna and Chancellor Rolin, Oil on panel, c. 1435. 66cm x 62cm. Musée du Louvre, Paris

The Madonna of Chancellor Rolin is an oil painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck, dating from around 1435. It is now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris. It was commissioned by Nicolas Rolin chancellor of the Duchy of Burgundy, then aged about 60, whose votive portrait takes up the left side of the picture, for his parish church, Notre-Dame-du-Chastel in Autun,[1] where it remained until the church burnt down in 1793. After a period in Autun Cathedral, it was moved to the Louvre in 1805.

In 2024, following conservation, the painting was the focus of an exhibition at the Louvre.[2]
