Jan van Eyck (Dutch: [ËjÉn fÉn ËÉik]) (before c. 1390 â 9 July 1441) was an Early Netherlandish painter active in Bruges and one of the most significant Northern Renaissance artists of the 15th century. Little is known of his early life.
Just a little background first: Van Dyck was the painter that basically set the path for the British School, and thus the American school. From the mid 1600âs all through the 1700âs and into the 1800âs. He was Flemish, but found a lot of fame painting the royal court of England.
