OverviewCompact, affordable introductions to some of the world’s most popular artists, looking at their works in incredible close-up detail This fascinating book views the work of Flemish painter Jan van Eyck (c. 1395–1441) under a magnifying glass. Van Eyck studied fauna and flora in their natural environment and under carefully chosen light conditions, and then achieved a breathtaking and convincing realism in his paintings. Each work is a collection of minuscule details rendered with superb clarity—or at least that is the viewer’s first impression.
