9 works across 2 institutions
Berlin holds 9 works by Jan van Eyck across 2 institutions, including Gemäldegalerie Berlin and Altes Museum.
Van Eyck perfected oil painting and the technical revolution he achieved is visible in every original: surfaces of jewel-like depth and luminosity, details of extraordinary precision, light that seems to come from within the canvas. No reproduction conveys the physical presence of a van Eyck panel.
