1 work across 1 institution
Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 1 work by Jan van Eyck (1390–1441) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
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.
