Jan van Eyck is probably the most famous name in the history of Netherlandish painting. Little is known of his early life, but by the 1420s he was already a painter of some renown, employed by duke Philip the Good of Burgundy, who presided over one of the most illustrious courts in Europe. An outstanding artist, Van Eyck was also a skilful diplomat and undertook numerous ambassadorial journeys for the Duke.
Through the centuries successive writers have paid tribute to Van Eyck’s technical mastery, calling him the king of Painter’s and crediting him with the invention of oil painting. His glowing images are remarkable for their special reality and naturalistic detail, while his combination of the minute and the monumental led one art historian to comment that his eye was at the same time a microscope and a telescope. |
