Jan van Eyck (c.1390–1441) was a pioneer of Early Netherlandish painting and a true master of detail. His work is celebrated for its astonishing realism, luminous colours, and delicate symbolism - each element meticulously crafted to invite reflection and awe.

Using oil paint in ways never seen before, van Eyck achieved textures and depth that brought his subjects vividly to life, from the intricate folds of fabric to the soft glint of light on glass or gold. His paintings often hold layers of hidden meaning, rewarding slow, thoughtful looking.
