Triptiek van de Brugse visverkopers is a 1563 unspecified by Pieter Pourbus, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting is a triptych, divided into three panels. The left panel shows a group of people gathered on a rocky shore, while the right panel depicts a figure standing on a rock, possibly a saint. The central panel features a dramatic scene with a boat and people in the water. A closer look reveals a sense of movement and energy in the central panel, with the figures in the boat and water conveying a sense of urgency.
