Traces the history of fifteenthand sixteenth-century Dutch and Flemish painting and discusses the period's general style

Famed for his focused observation of nature, Flemish painter Jan van Eyck (c. 1395 1441) studied fauna and flora in their natural environment and under carefully chosen lighting conditions, and then achieved a breathtaking and convincing realism in his paintings. Each panel is a collection of minuscule details rendered with superb clarity from foreground to background or at least that is the impression at first glance. As this book reveals, that is precisely where Van Eyck’s exceptional talent lay: He understood that the human brain is able to supplement visual perception where necessary. Here, details from Van Eyck’s paintings are organized by such themes as nature, architecture, daily life, fabrics, glass, jewelry and mirrors, and portraits. Opening with a biographical note and an essay on the technique of oil painting on panel, the authors explain the significance of the individual details and how Van Eyck achieved his innovative artistic results.  With a preface by contemporary painter Luc Tuymans, this book is an unprecedented look at the work of a popular master.

A comprehensive look at the life and work of one of the 20th century’s most influential architects Aldo van Eyck (1918–1999) was a Dutch architect, writer, and teacher who helped redefine Modern architecture in the second half of the 20th century. As an advocate for architecture’s engagement with history, culture, climate, and the lived human experience of buildings and urban spaces, he created designs that privileged place and the daily rituals in the lives of its inhabitants over universal ideals. In this volume, enlivened by 300 illustrations from the Aldo van Eyck archive, Robert McCarter provides the first comprehensive study of van Eyck’s 50-year career since his death, guiding readers through the architect’s buildings and unrealized projects, with a focus on the interior spatial experience and on the design and construction processes. Highlighted projects include the Amsterdam Orphanage, the Roman Catholic Church in The Hague, and some of the hundreds of playgrounds he famously designed over the course of his career. McCarter also investigates how van Eyck’s writings and lectures convey the importance of architecture in the everyday lives of people around the world and throughout history. By presenting his design work together with the principles on which it was founded, McCarter illuminates van Eyck’s ethical interpretation of architecture’s place in the world.

Book By Ainsworth, Maryann W. Christiansen, Keith

Van Eyck in Detail opens with a biographical note on the artist and an introductory chapter on the technique of oil painting. Organized by theme, it further encompasses subjects as nature, architecture, daily life, fabrics, glass, jewellery and mirrors, and portraits. Van Eycks concentrated observation of nature formed an integral part of his innovation of the art of painting. He studied fauna and flora in their natural environment under specific light conditions. The accuracy with which he realised a breath taking convincing realism is based on a thorough understanding of structure and visual perception. It looks as if everything, from the foreground to the horizon, reveals itself in minuscule detail. However, when observed under magnification, it becomes clear that much depends on suggestion. Van Eyck anticipated on the phenomenon, understood today, that the brain completes visual observation. The authors explain besides the significance of details, also the technique of painting in oil that the artist improved, allowing him to achieve his innovative artistic results. Finally, the reader receives a number of suggestions for further reading.

More than 100 colour reproductions, with individual commentaries, present the accomplishments of the major figures of the period, including Robert Campin, Rogier van der Weyden, Gerard David and Hans Memling.

Brings together work by two great masters, Van Eyck and Dürer, along with work by their contemporaries to illustrate the interaction between Flemish and Central European artists in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Jan van Eyck and Albrecht Dürer were two titans in a pivotal century in the history of western art. For several generations, the Flemish Primitives inspired artists from the Holy Roman Empire and influenced the course of artistic development in Europe to a degree rivaled only by the innovations of the Italian Renaissance. This ambitious publication represents the first systematic examination of the cultural interaction between the Burgundian Netherlands and its neighbors to the North and East. In addition to well-known (and less well-known) works by Flemish artists such as Van Eyck, Campin, Van der Weyden, and Memling, the book also includes masterpieces by Dürer, Holbein, and Altdorfer as well as artistic gems by less celebrated painters from Germany, Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Estonia. A selection of sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, and prints is also included. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Groeninge Museum in Bruges. 350 color and 303 black-and-white illustrations
