Jan Van Eyck
Jan Van Eyck is an early Netherlandish painter. He was born in Maaseik. He lived from 1390 bc to 1441 bc. He is well known for Northern Renaissance Art and he is a founder of Early Netherlandish painting. One of my favorite pieces of his is the Arnolfini Portrait which we viewed in class. It depicts a young man with his wife featuring a mirror with the same image replaced with his other wives who have died. This painting is so intricate that I could look at it for hours and find something new. A lot of his work was like that and that’s why I appreciate it so much
