🎨 On this day in 1441: Netherlandish Renaissance painter Jan van Eyck dies.
Jan van Eyck (c. 1390-1441 CE) was famous in his own lifetime for his mastery of oil painting, colouring, naturalistic scenes, and eye for detail.
Amongst his masterpieces are the 1432 CE Ghent Altarpiece, otherwise known as The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, and the Arnolfini Wedding Portrait, a tour de force in optical illusions. A pioneer of using oils for realistic effects, his work was influential on Renaissance art but especially on Italian artists in the second half of the 15th century CE.
