Jan van Eyck

Jan van Eyck was a master of early Netherlandish painting and is generally considered one of the founders of oil painting. His works demonstrate extreme attention to detail, an almost freakish brightness of colors, and a high degree of realism. Van Eyck was able to create textures and light in his works that were previously unknown. His famous paintings include The Arnolfini Portrait and The Ghent Altarpiece. He was a master at oil painting whose creations have looked deeper and richer than other paintings. This is why his paintings are for people who love their art with its complex details and historical significance. Therefore, today’s artists still find inspiration from him.
