Details of a Van Eyck painting

Check out these details of “The Madonna and Can­non Van Der Paele” by Jan Van Ecyk. What’s par­tic­u­larly amaz­ing to con­sider is how new this “Ars Nova” move­ment was when Van Eyck was paint­ing. Almost no one had done any­thing like it before. And yet Van Eyck’s work is so stun­ningly fluent.

    Con­grat­u­lated with these superb por­traits of our Jan Van Eyck from Maa­seik (Belgium/Flanders/Limburg)!! We are in search of genealogic infor­ma­tion con­cern­ing the Van Eyck broth­ers and doc­u­ments con­cern­ing the stay of Jan Van Eyck in the Nether­lands, Spain and Por­tu­gal.
    Greet­ings, Wim Corstjens

    There is, at present, an exhi­bi­tion tak­ing place in Valen­cia (Spain) which deals with thiss mat­ter. It is called “In search of th Golden Fleece. Europe of Princes/Europe of Cities” and will be opened until June 30th. You may be able to obtain the cat­a­logue (2 vol­umes, 1200 pages) through: Fundaci´ñon Jaume II el Just, Calle Cor­res, 3, 3º,6ª; 66002 Valen­cia; Spain. It is hard­bound and includes con­tri­bu­tions of ver rel­e­vant schol­ars. I think it costs about 30 or 60 euros. Regards. Eduard Mira
