What (who) is Jan van Eyck - definition

Jan van Eyck

FLEMISH PAINTER (C.1390-1441)

Jan Van Eyck; Worship of the Lamb; John Van Eych; J. Van Eyck; Jan van Ike; Johannes de Eyck

Jan van Eyck ( , ; – July 9, 1441) was a painter active in Bruges who was one of the early innovators of what became known as Early Netherlandish painting, and one of the most significant representatives of Early Northern Renaissance art. According to Vasari and other art historians including Ernst Gombrich, he invented oil painting, Gombrich, The Story of Art, page 240 though most now regard that claim as an oversimplification.

Van Eyck

FAMILY NAME

Hubert and Jan van Eyck; Eyck, Hubert and Jan van; Van Eyk; Van Eijk; Van Eyck (disambiguation); Lambert van Eyck

Van Eyck or Van Eijk () is a Dutch toponymic surname. Eijck, Eyck, Eyk and Eijk are all archaic spellings of modern Dutch ("oak") and the surname literally translates as "from/of oak".

Hubert van Eyck

EARLY NETHERLANDISH PAINTER (1366-1426)

Hubert Van Eyck; Hubert van eyck; H. Van Eyck

Hubert van Eyck () or Huybrecht van Eyck ( – 18 September 1426) was an Early Netherlandish painter and older brother of Jan van Eyck, 1606), who gives 1366 as his year of birth, but this is now thought very unlikely. The modern estimate is based on working backward from the documented mentions of him as a "master".

Examples of use of Jan van Eyck

1. In a 15th–century painting by the Dutch artist Jan van Eyck, Italian merchant Giovanni Arnolfini looks eerily like Putin.

2. Art historians, however, argue that 15th–century Flemish painter Jan van Eyck may have known of the technique because he had developed a stable varnish, although he kept it secret until his death.

3. The BBC Radio 4 and National Gallery poll to find The Greatest Painting in Britain has turned up a decent shortlist – honouring both David Hockney and Jan van Eyck – but seeing the usage I regularly throw about deployed by someone else gives me pause.

4. The most recent work was David Hockney‘s Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy (1'70–71), 82 years younger than the next on the list, Van Gogh‘s Sunflowers (1888). Half the works in the top 10 date from the 1'th century and the oldest, The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck (whether Mrs Arnolfini is pregnant is another controversy) was painted in 1434.

5. "It presents a new and distinctively modern world view, a world in which there is ambiguity and distortion". The Arnolfini Portrait, by Jan Van Eyck, was fourth; Van Gogh‘s Sunflowers was sixth; Revd Robert Walker Skating on Duddingston Loch, by Sir Henry Raeburn, was seventh; The Last of England, by Ford Madox Brown, was eighth; The Baptism of Christ, by Piero della Francesca, ninth; and The Rake‘s Progress, by William Hogarth, 10th.
