The Dresden Triptych is a very small hinged triptych altarpiece by the Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck, made up of five individual panel paintings, a central inner panel and two double-sided wings. It is signed and dated 1437 and held in the Gemaldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, with its panels still in their original frames. It is the only extant triptych attributed to van Eyck and the only one of his non-portrait works signed with his personal motto, and it established iconographic elements of Marian portraiture that became widespread in the second half of the 15th century.
