Van Eyck
The Arnolfini Portrait depicting the wedding of a young couple is one of the most famous paintings of the Early Renaissance. With its unprecedented precision and masterful use of color (down to the most minute details reflected in the background mirror) the painting is a testament to the mastery of Flemish painter Jan van Eyck (c. 1390-1441) leader of the Early Netherland School. Though he cannot be credited as many have claimed as the inventor of oil painting his use of the medium was highly innovative allowing for great intensity and depth of color. Often imitated but never equaled van Eyck left an indelible impression on Renaissance art and paved the way for future realist painters.Every book in Taschen's Basic Art Series" features: a detailed chronological summary of the artist's life
and work covering the cultural and historical importance of the artist; approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory captions; and a concise biography."
