	WebMuseum: Eyck, Jan van
		Jan van Eyck, the most famous and innovative Flemish painter of the 15th century, is thought to have come from the village of Maaseyck in Limbourg.
		Van Eyck has been credited traditionally with the invention of painting in oils, and, although this is incorrect, there is no doubt that he perfected the technique.
		Van Eyck's inspired observations of light and its effects, executed with technical virtuosity through this new, transparent medium, enabled him to create a brilliant and lucid kind of reality.

	Jan van Eyck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first extant record of Jan is from the court of John of Bavaria at The Hague.
		Jan van Eyck is known to the modern viewer through paintings he produced for private clients as a side to his career at the court.
		Exceptionally for his time, Jan used to sign and date his paintings, usually on their frame, which at the time was considered an integral part of the painting (the two were often painted together).

	Hubert and Jan van Eyck
		Nearly all the poetic fancy of the Van Eycks is already outlined in this Book of Hours, especially on their landscape side; And whereas the Limbourgs kept to the country around Liège, the Van Eycks followed the same route, and doubtless experienced the same influences.
		Thus the art of the Van Eycks would be but the culminating point of the great Renaissance movement inaugurated at the Court of the Valois in France, and which reached its apogee in 1400.
		As early as the middle of the fifteenth century paintings by Jan van Eyck were being treasured at Naples and at Urbino.

	History of Art: Gothic Art- Hubert van Eyck, Jan van Eyck
		The brothers Hubert van Eyck, Jan van Eyck and Lambert van Eyck were all painters; a sister, Margaret, was also identified as a painter by van Vaernewijck (1568), who recorded that she was unmarried and was buried next to Hubert in Ghent.
		Jan van Eyck must have been born before 1395, for in October 1422 he is recorded as the varlet de chambre et peintre (“honorary equerry and painter”;) of John of Bavaria, count of Holland.
		Jan must have met Campinat least once, when he was feted by the Tournai painter's guild in 1427, and from Campin's art he seems to have learned the bold realism, the method of disguised symbolism, and perhaps the luminous oil technique that became so characteristic of his own style.

	Jan van Eyck
		Van Eyck exploited the qualities of oil as never before, building up layers of transparent glazes, thus giving him a surface on which to capture objects in the minutest detail and allowing for the preservation of his colours.
		Jan van Eyck was almost unique among northern - or, for that matter, Italian - artists of the early quattrocento for his virtuosity as a recorder of historical style.
		A fifteenth century writer praised Van Eyck for his landscapes, which seem to stretch "for fifty miles." The point is that such a way of presenting the world as a visual whole has no more to do with the way we see it than, say, Leonardo's quick frozen notations of eddies in a mill race.

		Van Eyck must have been the special effects genius of his day, dazzling anyone who encountered his work with a virtuoso display of the capabilities of this remarkable painting medium, along with the ability it gave him to create works that were painted with astonishing levels of realism and an almost insane degree of detail.
		Van Eyck is a central point where this tradition meets the beginning of the more image-centric traditions of the Renaissance and the results are an uncanny mix of realism and detail.
		Van Eyck was the only Northern painter of his day to sign his work, but even then the signature was usually subdued, or perhaps even part of the frame.

		Jan van Eyck is the most famous member of a family of painters traditionally believed to have originated from the town of Maaseik, in the diocese of Liège.
		Evidence that the van Eycks bore a coat-of-arms, and thus belonged to the gentry, and that Jan was literate (as shown by his own handwriting on a drawing), is consistent with the probability that some of his frequent travels for the duke were diplomatic missions.
		Van Eyck's principal artistic successor in Bruges was Petrus Christus.

		Philip employed him not only in Burgundy but also abroad: van Eyck was sent with the embassy to Portugal in 1428 to paint the portrait of Joao I's daughter Isabella, whom Philip subsequently married.
		Jan (and perhaps his brother) improved on the already existing technique of oil painting, which allowed subtler effects of tone, colour, and detail than the egg-tempera technique then in common use.
		However, the brilliance of colour and perfection of enamel-like surface attained by Jan must be attributed also to his superbly skilled and methodical handling of paint, skills acquired as an illuminator.

	Jan Van Eyck and the Man In A Red Turban
		Although Jan van Eyck is not one of the most famous Renaissance artists, his painting skills were extraordinary and revolutionary.
		For this reason, it is likely that Man in a Red Turban is a self portrait of Jan van Eyck himself, since anyone wealthy enough to afford a self portrait would not want to be painted in such a way.
		On the frame of the painting Jan van Eyck has written his own personal motto, which translates to English as “The best I am capable of doing.” This motto expresses the humanistic spirit of the Renaissance; the endeavor to produce the most perfect, yet most realistic pieces of art humanly possible.
