Jan van Eyck was one of the most inventive and influential artists
in the entire European tradition. The phenomenal realism of his
paintings, now six centuries old, still astounds observers in a
world accustomed to high-resolution images. But other dimensions of
his work are just as original and absorbing. Unlike any earlier
artist, Van Eyck infused his paintings with himself. In addition to
portraying, reflecting and implying his own presence in a variety
of works, he also introduced his voice, hand and mind in an array
of inscriptions, signatures and even a personal motto.
Incorporating a wealth of new research and recent discoveries
within a fresh exploration of the paintings themselves, this book
reveals how profoundly Jan van Eyck transformed the very idea of
what an artist could be.
