Given that Fabritius’s career lasted only from circa 1641 to 1654 and some of his art was destroyed in the tragedy, e

Flemish artist Jan van Eyck was a pioneer in the practice of oil painting and portraiture. His virtuosic exploration of the medium entailed building up paint in translucent layers, or glazes. This allowed him to render minute details and effects of light with astonishing realism. His portraits portray a sensitivity to sitters without shying away from naturalism.
