Jan van Eyck
Major exhibition coming to The National Gallery London – Fall 2026
Portraiture as we know it begins with van Eyck. His vision and skill launched painting into a new era of unrivalled realism.
Watchful eyes, a hint of stubble, wrinkles, flushed cheeks. Van Eyck captured his subjects in all their intimate details. Though these people sat for their portraits 600 years ago, they feel alive today. Known best for the Arnolfini Portrait Van Eyck was active during the first half of the 15th century and made oil painting a standard in European art. He was also one of the first painters who signed his work, a polyglot, and an important international diplomat of his time.
