Jan van Eyck

	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.
		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.
		The objects themselves are charged with symbolism; Jan van Eyck's attitude to nature was medieval in that he seems to have regarded each created thing as a symbol of the workings of God's mind, and the universe as an immense structure of metaphors.

	Bernard Van Orley - LoveToKnow 1911
		BERNARD VAN ORLEY (1491-1542), Flemish painter, the son and pupil of the painter Valentyn van Orley, was born at 1 The same night Moltke received copies of the prince's orders and also news of the victory of Loigny-Poupry, but for some reason that is still unknown he let events take their course.
		Whilst in his earlier work he continued the tradition of the Van Eycks and their followers, he inaugurated a new era in Flemish art by introducing into his native country the Italian manner of the later Renaissance, the style of which he had acquired during his sojourn in Rome.
		Van Orley, together with Michael Cocxie, superintended the execution of van Aelst's tapestries for the Vatican, after Raphael's designs, and is himself responsible for some remarkable tapestry designs, such as the panels at Hampton Court.

		Jan van Eyck was active at the courts of Count John of Holland (1422-25) and Philip of Burgundy.
		Of the van Eycks' works that have survived, the largest is the altarpiece in the Church of Saint Bavon in Ghent, thought on the basis of an inscription of the frame to have been a collaborative effort of the two brothers, and completed by Jan in 1432.
		Van Eyck's interest in the texture and specific quality of material substances and his superb technical gifts are especially well demonstrated in two devotional panels, the Madonna with Chancellor Rolin in the Louvre, and the Madonna with Canon Van der Paele (1436) in Bruges.

	Biography
		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 most famous and most controversial work is one of his first, the Ghent altarpiece (1432), a polyptych consisting of twenty panels in the Church of St. Bavo, Ghent.

	Van Eycks
		HUBERT VAN EYCK, the father and founder of Flemish painting, and his younger brother Jan, hailed from the valley of the Meuse, a river as celebrated in the history of art as the Rhine or the Arno.
		Jan van Eyck, the collaborator in the Ghent altar-piece, is magnificently represented in the National Gallery by three portrait panels, one of them a masterpiece.
		Immeasurable as was the influence of the van Eycks on the future of Flemish art, and indeed on the very art of painting itself, they seem to have had few direct pupils.

		In 1435, Van Eyck painted "The Madonna and Child with Chancellor Rolin", which showed ornate columns and a city-scape in the background, demonstrating perspective, which was invented in Italy and was not widely known in the North at that time.
		Van Eyck was one of the first painters to paint in oil paints and demonstrate their true potential, oils having been rare before Van Eycks time.
		Van Eyck also used tempera, but on top of this he applied layers of oil paint, which reflected light and gave his colors a rich glow.

	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.
		It is enough to compare the ugly yet touching figures of Adam and Eve by Jan van Eyck with those by Masaccio in the Brancacci Chapel to be convinced of this.
		It is the real glory of the Van Eycks, that they emancipated the genius of the races of the North and gave it its first full expression.

		Jan van Eyck must be regarded as the first liberator of art from the yoke of the Church, and with him we find the birth of that great Flemish art which in its own way faithfully pictured the life around.
		Rogier van der Weyden divided honours with the van Eycks as the inspirer of those who worked in the second half of the 15th century.
		Still, it is with the van Eycks that Memlinc was most in sympathy, and he should be classed with them in the early Flemish school.

		However, the single factor that most distinguishes the van Eycks from the art of manuscript illumination was the medium they used.
		The van Eycks' real achievement was the development - after much experimentation - of a stable varnish that would dry at a consistent rate.
		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.

		World Map, 1400-1600 A.D. 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.

		Jan belonged to the Van Eyck family of painters and was a younger brother of Hubert van Eyck.
		The date of his birth is not more accurately known than that of his elder brother, but he was born much later than Hubert van Eyck, who took charge of him and made him his "disciple".
		In all these backgrounds, though we miss the scientific rules of perspective with which the Van Eycks were not familiar, we find such delicate perceptions of gradations in tone, such atmosphere, yet such minuteness and perfection of finish, that our admiration never flags.

		Van Puyvelde was a student at the Episcopal High School in Sint-Niklaas (Waas), in the Flemish part of Belgium, and then enrolled at the Faculty of Arts of the Catholic University of Louvain, where he obtained a doctoral degree in 1905.
		As curator, Van Puyvelde was deeply committed to the conservation of works of arts, and established a modern laboratory in the museum in 1929-30.
		His analysis of the style of the Van Eyck brothers was rather subjective, and his controversial premise that they would not have used oil in the painting was proven to be incorrect.

	HNA Review of Books
		The first four articles (Vermeylen, Silver, Peeters, and De Marchi and Van Miegroet) are concerned with various aspects of the art market in Antwerp, while one (Sluijter) focuses in part on Antwerp's artistic legacy as it moved northward from the late sixteenth century onward and stimulated artistic and economic developments in the northern lands.
		Neil De Marchi and Hans J. Van Miegroet further extend the thematic of demand to the realm of art dealers in Antwerp in their fascinating case study of two husband-and-wife partnerships which sought their fortunes in the complex undertaking of international trade.
		As the author suggests, Van de Venne's arrival in The Hague in the early years of his career would have a considerable impact on the evolution of his style and choice of themes.

		This contribution was a follow up to Dhanens’ earlier work on this painting, particularly her 1965 publication, while in a separate chapter she for the first time dealt with the commentaries of the twelfth-century theologian Rupert of Deutz as an important iconographical source of the altarpiece.
		Hugo van der Goes was the subject of her 1998 monograph, Hugo van der Goes.
		In 1973, Dhanens was elected to the Koninklijke Academie van België, Klasse der Schone Kunsten.

		Jacob van Eyck was not the only Dutch composer of his time who wrote variations and other pieces for soprano recorder.
		Van Eyck was blind and could not see what was written and printed.
		Stylistically the 'Stemme nova' variations are typical for van Eyck, for instance through the use of hasty echo motifs, and the introduction of an upbeat in order to realize them more easily.

	Re: Van Eyck's Secret Technique!!!
		I examined one of van Mander's paintings at the local museum this morning and could see clearly that he was still using a flesh-colored priming.
		Of course that particular painting is much later than a Van Eyck and the technique is much more direct, with the ground being more evident in the buildings than in the flesh.
		Regarding van Eyck's technique, I compared notes with a painter I admire who is very well-versed in current van Eyck scholarship including some articles written in Flemish.

	....George van der Paele - Cennini Forum
		It's possible that spike oil was known in van Eyck's day since lavendar was cultivated on a large scale and flowers and herbs were distilled for perfumes and medicines.
		A practice that seems peculiar to van Eyck and his close followers was the use of ultramarine in shadows of red passages, adding traces of fl only in the deepest shadows.
		Another interesting item I learned about early oil technique is general is that painters like van der Weyden, Bouts, Bellini and Raphael mixed their own browns with vermillion, fl, lead white and sometimes small amounts of ochre, presumably to avoid the tendency of the earth pigments to sink and dry to a matt, uneven finish.

	The Psalm Variations of Jacob van Eyck

		As a carillonneur, Jacob van Eyck had to limit himself to this repertoire on Sunday.
