In this fascinating book, the painted oeuvre of Jan van Eyck (c. 1395–1441) is examined in detail. Renowned for his meticulous observation of nature, he studied flora and fauna in their natural environments and under specific lighting conditions, creating works of breathtaking realism. Each painting contains an infinite number of tiny details rendered with extraordinary precision, from the foreground to the distant horizons—or at least giving the illusion of them. Dozens of details from van Eyck's paintings are presented in chapters devoted to various themes, including nature, architecture, everyday life, the divine, and humanity.
2020 will be the year of Van Eyck: The Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent, Belgium, is preparing a major exhibition that promises to be the most comprehensive ever organized on Van Eyck from February 1 to April 30, 2020.
