| Description: | Select Guide Rating As one of the first, true masters of oil painting, Jan van Eyck was also one of the most important Renaissance artists of the 15th century. Just 25 surviving works are attributed to him, yet his realism heavily influenced Early Netherlandish painters. Explore Jan van Eyck’s life and masterful oil works in this hardcover introduction. Often imitated but never equaled, Jan van Eyck (c. 1390-1441) left an indelible impression on Renaissance art and paved the way for future realist painters. With its unprecedented precision and masterful use of color, Arnolfini Double Portrait, depicting the wedding of a young couple, is testament to the mastery of the Flemish painter and leader of the Early Netherlandish school. Van Eyck painted both secular and religious subject matter, emphasizing a naturalism and realism that moved seamlessly between 15th-century everyday life and poetic, heavenly settings. Working with oil paint, he innovated the medium, allowing for great intensity and depth of color. |
