- Study Evaluation of Information (11 Aug. 64) the last name of two famous
Flemish painters--Hubert van Eyck (
circa 1370--1426) and his
brother Jan (1385?--1441). The
word Flemish means a resident of
Flanders, a medieval country in Western Europe including parts of what is now Belgium,
France and the Netherlands. The brothers are most famous for a large altarpiece which they
painted for a cathedral in
Flanders, called "The Adoration of the Lamb" ("the Lamb" is a
Christian term for Jesus
Christ). This was reportedly started by Hubert and
completed by
Jan. The
work had a great influence on
painting in
Northern Europe because of its detail, brilliant colors and
religious spirit. The van Eyck brothers enormously improved the
technique of oil
painting and are considered the greatest of the
Flemish painters. If you were studying
art for drawing room
conversation but not commercially, I assure you the thing to do is to get ahold of a
catalog that was published at some outrageous long date ago that
lists all sorts of painters of the
period of van Eyck or something like this and get all the contemporaries, see, get all of those and what they were noted for, you see, and memorize-just
grind,
grind,
grind like you're memorizing this-an amateur
play script, all of this stuff, you see, and so forth-drawing room
conversation kill everybody
dead!
