Jan van Eyck

Jan van Eyck (atau Johannes de Eyck) (Belanda: [ˈjɑn vɑn ˈɛjk]; sebelum c. 1390 – sebelum c. 9 Julai 1441) merupakan pelukis orang Flemish yang aktif di Bruges dan kini dianggap sebagai salah seorang pelukis Awal Netherlandish paling penting pada abad ke-15. Beberapa rekod yang terselamat menunjukkan bahawa dia dilahirkan sekitar 1390, kemungkinan besarnya di Maaseik. Selain kerja yang disiapkan bersama saudaranya Hubert van Eyck dan yang disandarkan pada Hand G —dipercayai sebagai Jan— bagi "Turin-Milan Hours" manuskrip bergambar, hanya 23 karya yang terselamat disandarkan dengan yakin pada dirinya, dari mana sepuluh, termasuk lukisan altar Ghent, ditandatangani dan bertarikh.

Hanya sedikit yang diketahui mengenai kehidupan awal beliau, tetapi kemunculannya sebagai pelukis yang dikumpul pada umumnya bermula berikutan perlantikan beliau ke istana "Philip the Good" c. 1425, dan dari tempoh ini aktivitinya direkodkan dengan agak baik. Van Eyck pernah berkhidmat dengan John Bavaria-Straubing , ketika itu pemerintah Belanda , Hainault dan Zeeland. Pada masa ini van Eyck telah membentuk bengkelnya dan terlibat dalam penghiasan semula istana Binnenhof di The Hague. Selepas kematian John pada tahun 1425 beliau berpindah ke Bruges dan mendapat perhatian Philip the Good. Beliau berkhidmat sebagai artis istana dan diplomat dan menjadi ahli kanan persatuan pelukis Tournai, di mana beliau mendapat bergaul dengan artis terkenal seperti Robert Campin dan Rogier van der Weyden. Lebih sedekad yang berikutnya reputasi dan keupayaan teknikal van Eyck meningkat, kebanyakannya dari pendekatan inovatif ke arah bagi mengendalikan dan memanipulasi cat minyak. Pendekatan bersifat revolusi nya pada minyak sehinggakan mitos, yang diteruskan oleh Giorgio Vasari, timbul bahawa dia telah mencipta lukisan minyak.^[1]^[2]

Nota

^ The myth was propagated by Karel van Mander. In fact oil painting as a technique for painting wood statues and other objects is much older and Theophilus Presbyter (Roger of Helmarshausen?) clearly gives instructions in his 1125 treatise, On Divers Arts. It is accepted that the van Eyck brothers were among the earliest Early Netherlandish painters to employ it for detailed panel paintings and that they achieved new and unforeseen effects through the use of glazes, wet-on-wet and other techniques.
