Jan van Eyck Gent en Brugge schilderij met Maria en kind daaromheen een aantal figuren waaronder de vrouw van Eyck met een knielend kind in een lichtblauwe kleed en lijkt dat hij gedoopt wordt vrouw van Eyck draagt een groene kleed met bruin soort omslagdoek en leest uit de bijbel lijkt het aan de andere kant in het schilderij staat een schaap/ lam te kijken ,kent U deze schilderij ? Zo ja wat is het verhaal in deze schilderij zag het op een plaatje uit 2011 ben benieuwd ( nog boos wdm ?) trouwens nog een schilderij van Michelangelo Buonarroti de Libische Sybille ook haar verhaal boeit mij een van die schilderijen waar niet echt bloot in voorkomt ( CAN 1511 Sixtijnse kapel)

@@joseffinat966, why are you so hostile? Jcudal32's comment is a general statement, and a very accurate one at that. Most people who reside in geographic proximity to where artists' works are exhibited, have very little appreciation for the works. This is most likely due to desensitization. Jcudal32's comment wasn't an exclusive statement in regard to van Eyck's work; it refers to almost all the greats. Have you ever been to Salvador Dali's museum in Figueres, Spain? Same concept there. Most locals (certainly not all) simply don't care that much about the exhibit. They are desensitized. What about the breathtaking Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, Germany? Few Berliners who live nearby worship the exhibit. As a person residing thousands of miles away, I dream of being able to re-visit these exhibits. To me, it is an out-of-reach dream. To most locals, it's just another building with stuff.
I had the good fortune to be able to visit the big van Eyck exhibition in Ghent last February and it was magnificent. A few weeks later it was closed because of the pandemic and that was the end of it. Such a shame.
@@winterdesert1 Being from Belgium, I was introduced to the brothers Van Eyck in school. I remember first seeing the Ghent Altarpiece when I was about 10 years old, on a school trip. You could say I'm pretty familiar with his/their work, and still I was overawed by the exhibition. Most memorable for me was the "Annunciation" that is part of the collection of The National Gallery in Washington. I had never seen it in real life, and the amount of detail in it just left me flabbergasted. I must have looked at every inch of it, finding new details again and again. So, to answer your question, I'd have to say the amount of details. Pure mastery.
@@profile1674 That's really interesting, and just looking at pictures of it I can't believe the detail as you zoom in. It's always intrigued me because a paint brush is not like a fine pen or pencil tip. I heard once in my art class that he painted at times with one paint brush hair! Not sure if that true or not, but I wouldn't be surprised. Or I wonder if he put the paint on something like a really tiny wire or something else really fine.
@@winterdesert1 I heard about the one hair brush as well, so it could be true. In the Groeninghemuseum in Bruges, you can take a look at "The Virgin and Child with Canon van der Paele" up close and the amount of detail is insane. The Ghent altarpiece is set up in a kind of protective cage, so you can't get really close, but it still is breathtaking. The figures really do look as if they could step out of the frame.
I lived in France for 33 years and drove to Bruges many many times and then on to Amsterdam for Rembrant, and on to London and the Arnolfini portrait. The Ghent Alterpiece was always the high point. The Northern renaissance directly influenced the Italian renaissance as art historians like Irwin Panofsky have elaborated.
Good 2 see a vid about Art period. I had 2 semesters of art history. I found this so interesting. U.get insight in2 an artists but also get a history lesson. Whether Art or music i love the bck story
1:00 Right! Like all professionals of this era, Master van Eyck always painted in his Sunday best, making sure to rub the white linen of his shirt against the wet canvas ...
And.... he used a tiny little brush which he held like a pencil to dab dab dab at the painting. He steadied his hand with heel of his palm on the surface. Magically, his hand was not smeared with paint.
I was adopted in the early 1950ies and just a few years ago discovered via DNA testing , my biological father comes from this area . At 72 yrs young I'm discovering my biological roots. This explains my wonderful good health and resilience to life's challanges on all levels. Blessed with good genes , even though I crapped out with the twisted adoptive parents fate threw at me. Whew , almost didn't get away from them alive...just saying.
Interesting, I grew up between Ghent and Bruges. May I ask you where you're biological father exactly comes from? And why you think we have good genes haha, I'll take the compliment though lol. And what kind of DNA testing you did? My grandmother was from Estonia in 1915, because of war and such, lots of info was lost from her ancestry. I'd love to know more about it
It's eerie how the faces seem to favor each other so, the absence of any noticable eyelashes, and the way he seemed to infer maternity in women, the Eve and the Bride in green. I see his actual "painting" as a precision excellence, yet his expressions as disturbing. Possibly, I'm too far removed from the 15th century Consciousness. I find this thought a bit reassuring, not all are ... I feel Isabella offers a real peek into herself, through her eyes. Obviously the Artist recognized this and shared it for all to experience. Not sure who that Artist was, as van Eyck's painting of Isabella is missing.
The Just Judges figures in Albert Camus's novel La Chute (The Fall) in which the wretched lawyer Clamence has set himself up as the "judge-penitent" of himself and modern humanity. He is the possessor of it in the end, as it is symbolic of his self-appointed role.
Van Eyck was exceptionally talented, but his subjects are super creepy looking. I love The Arnolfini Wedding for its incredible skill, so many little details to pore over. The mirror with the whole scene in tiny miniature detail is incredible. No surprise then to hear he started as a miniaturist.
@@gkos2566 Inderdaad, altijd het zelfde met Nederlanders. Ze vergeten dat dankzij de 80 jarige oorlog alle kennis en de rijkdom die Antwerpen bezat, allemaal gevlucht zijn naar Nederland. Zij hebben de kennis en de kunde in Nederland naar een hoger niveau getild, maar dat zeggen ze natuurlijk niet.
What I find wonderful about The Three Marys at the Tomb is that, with the three women holding their precious-metal urns, it mimics the iconography of the Magi but in female guise. Attribution of this work to Jan is disputed. It is most commonly attributed to Hubert van Eyck; other theories include a fraternal collaboration similar to the Ghent altarpiece, or even a workshop production.
Thankyou ! You say this was before the time of photography but don't forget its been proved Jan van Eyck when painting the Arnolfini Portrait 1434 used a camera obscura ,certainly to paint the chandelier above the couple.
Much art in Louvre and the London museum of art is right out nicked. In Denmark, they had an old book from the Samic people in Norway, and they wanted it back. They got it back, because, why not. They had appropriate ways to store and keep it in good condition for decades.

In terms of the Northern Renaissance as compared to the later Italian Renaissance the 'invention' or more advanced use of oil painting is clearly visible.
Would love to see a reference list or bibliography in the description for further research. Writing a presentation for university about Van Eyck. Wish i could use this but my referencing guidelines are strict

Clothing has always been expensive. This is why, in my opinion, the repeated image of an artist working on an oil painting with his expensive looking ruffled shirt cuff dragging over the unfinished oil painting, is ridiculous. It is obvious that the actor is not working on an unfinished oil painting, because there is no paint showing on the cuff. No actual artist, of any era, would be seen dragging his shirt cuff over unfinished, not yet dry, work. After seeing this the second time, I decided that the so-called experts of this video could not be trusted to present anything of any value. Clicked off. You tube has better, on the same subject.
Good grief! It’s a wonder he got ANYTHING done, if this is a true enactment of how he painted...... the SAme SPot OVer and OVer and OVer again! Golly!! ‘Stock footage’ used to its most annoying level imaginable!!
When I see the miraculous work this man could do and compare it to the abstract shit or political abstract shit that passes for Art today , I get depressed. Even without the slightest talent you simple have to throw some paint at the canvas and write a dozen pages about some bullshit Ism and the powers that be will hail you as a genius and the sheep will follow of course. One time you had to have a gift.
Don't ditch abstract art as a whole. A lot of it has a reading, a way to understand it. It's not even very complex, learning about it is just like someone giving you a translator. Take Jackson Pollock, for example, who is perhaps one of the most infamous in the abstract world who seem to "throw paint at a canvas". Several of Pollock's paintings are like fractals, which are mathematical concepts. What he painted was calculated and yet reproducing it is very difficult. You may even dislike abstract art (I personally don't like most of it), but it doesn't mean it's senseless or talentless. There're are even cases of artists who mainly do abstract art painting hyper realistic works just to show people it's not lack of talent, it's a stylistic choice.
A lot of speculating here. Too many "Would be's", "Could be's" and "Should be's" and not enough "meat and potatoes". Interesting but not convincing. Thank you.
@@Celtopia No, you shut up! I've a right to my opinion. It's a fairly good program, but I was disappointed by its repetitive speculation. The entire program is speculative with their would be's, might be's etc. You don't like my opinion? Good, ignore it! But you don't go about telling anyone to shut up!
I didn't know that he used a tiny brush and choked up on it like a pencil. I didn't know he would dab dab dab while he rubbed the painting with the heel of his hand and a ruffled shirt cuff. Snort.
Honestly I think they are just kinda gross and depressing. Looking at them makes me unhappy, and... it turns out I don't want to know about his family... bye :(
Yes, Munch's the Scream went missing soon after visiting the Munch museet, I emailed my pals that I am like O.J. 110% innocent, luckily it was recovered.
the biggest lie ever and Bach did exactly the same ... you can immitate a lot, but the style is making you the fraud ... most of the paintings are Belisa's work - she is born in 1470 in Brugge, her mother was Katharina van Kleef (who had a twin brother) and her father was Petrus van Kortrijk - known as Petrus X (Portret of a Lady) ... that work (Portret of a Lady) opened an entrance in my brain and made me remember my complete life, being Belisa Barca ... besides a movie about Belisa, there will be a series of documentaries to explain how we have changed reality to steal what was not ours to possess ... between her life and mine, there is Johanna van Castilië, her mother (Isabella Van Aragon/Castilië) also was born in 1470, in Lier, near Antwerp, connected with my grandparents. It only needed one open door to become the story of the century, but I won't live long enough to taste the fruits that grew on my Tree of Life. Sophia will - I've had several lives before, but this is the very first time, I know who I am going to be in my next life - as a matter of fact, she is some kind of a co-worker already. When we die, we disconnect from all earthly possessions - that means that the painings are not mine either - but I can tell you the truth about Belisa, Leonardo da Vinci and the van Eyck family, if you really want to know it ... I can't change the world, but I can try to change our narcissistic legacy ...

There was very little blue in those paintings. Blue pigment was expensive at that time.
It was also the color of royalty. Using too much blue without representing anything of royal standing, was looked down upon
@@redwood-in-stereo I believe that was purple. Blue was rare because at one time the only source of blue pigment was a blue mineral from Afghanistan.

It only needed one open door to become the story of the century, but I won't live long enough to taste the fruits that grew on my Tree of Life. Sophia will - I've had several lives before, but this is the very first time, I know who I am going to be in my next life - as a matter of fact, she is some kind of a co-worker already. When we die, we disconnect from all earthly possessions - that means that the painings are not mine either - but I can tell you the truth about Belisa, Leonardo da Vinci and the van Eyck family, if you really want to know it ...
I can't change the world, but I can try to change our narcissistic legacy ...
