Description: 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. Trace the artist's impressive oeuvre in this hardcover survey of his work including altarpieces religious figures and commissioned portraits. Featuring enlarged details and close analyses of masterpieces like the Ghent Altarpiece this publication also offers a chronology of van Eyck's production including the output of his workshop which continued even after his death.
