About the piece
This 1889 oil painting by Albrecht De Vriendt depicts the legendary Flemish painter Jan van Eyck. The subject is rendered with dignified poise, wearing a rich red robe trimmed with dark fur, standing against a luminous, textured gold ground that evokes the prestige of Northern Renaissance art and historical panel painting.
