Jan van Eyck

Flemish, 1390–1441

Jan van Eyck (c. 1390–1441) è stato un pittore fiammingo attivo a Bruges e una figura chiave nel primo Rinascimento del Nord. Nato intorno al 1380 o 1390 a Maaseik, lavorò come pittore di corte all'Aia e in seguito servì Filippo il Buono, Duca di Borgogna, trasferendosi a Bruges nel 1429. Van Eyck creò circa 20 dipinti sopravvissuti, comprese opere religiose e secolari, e contribuì a manoscritti miniati. Era noto per le sue innovazioni nella pittura a olio e firmò diverse opere con un motto che gioca sul suo nome.
