[8] This has Philip's coat of arms painted on the back, so should predate his death in 1404, and the "unusual iconography of the piece clearly links it to [Champmol]",[9] which was dedicated to the Holy Trinity, who all appear.The style of the work mixes Northern and Sienese elements, in a fashion characteristic of the International Gothic court art of the period.The ducal accounts record the provision of pigments (but not gold) to Bellechose to complete ("parfaire" = "perfect") a "painting of the life of St Denis", known to have been a subject of Malouel's, and some see a difference in style among the figures, while others do not.[15] It is believed the Berlin picture was one wing of a diptych opposite a portrait of John the Fearless, which would be the first known example of this format, later very common in Netherlandish painting.[17] A number of other works are, or have been, attributed to Malouel or his workshop, including a smaller Pietà tondo in the Louvre,[18] the "Antwerp-Baltimore polyptych",[19] also sometimes associated with Melchior Broederlam, and a damaged Entombment of Christ in Troyes.
