van Eyck, H.

…Flemish painter. Also written as Van Eyck. He was believed to be the founder of oil painting in Italy from an early period. His accurate depiction of the texture of the subject and the perspective of space, his use of the 3/4 frontal bust format for portraits, and his use of light coming from the left to flesh out the model are unmatched, making him a solitary painter. He was probably born in Maaseik and died in Bruges. He first served as a miniature painter at the court of the Count of Holland in The Hague. From 1425 onwards, he worked as a court painter and chamberlain for the Duke of Burgundy, and was often sent as an envoy to distant countries, especially in Portugal from 1428 to 1429, where he worked hard to welcome the country's princess Isabella to the bride of his master, Philip the Good. …
