That van Eyck painting has fascinated me since I saw it in real life 3 years ago. In real life it is even more amazing, you feel it is 3 dimensional and the characters are real and moving. Incredible
I think that Van Eyk piece is a triptych (divided into 3 pieces) isn’t it? I always admired his use of Egg Tempera paints. Provides a remarkable sense of depth.
Durer is one of my other idols for rendering of the figure by simple means.
Interesting! In which museum is that Van Eyck exhibited?
