Lecture 2 - Jan van Eyck
About This Webinar
Jan van Eyck, court painter to the Duke of Burgundy, spent the last decade of his life in Bruges. We explore the masterpieces he painted there, including the Arnolfini Portrait, the Virgin of Chancellor Rolin, and the Virgin with Canon Van der Paele, unpacking their complex meanings and marvelling not only at Van Eyck’s astonishing representation of reality but at the sophistication with which he manipulates that reality, playing visual games with the viewer that enhance our reading of these works.
