Just wish it were bigger,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jan Van Eyck: Renaissance Realist (Basic Art) (German Edition) (Paperback)
This is a lovely little work, very well worth the price. As an artist, one just wishes it were larger, with more enlarged details. Although the printing is high quality, there is little not seen in comparable, more pricey works yet there are a nice few. It seems lucky to be in an age when scholars Borchert and DeVos are writing, since they and other specialists in Flemish Ars Nova have done so much to clarify much of the mysteries about this critical phase in art history. There are no major new revelations of course, as there are still so many frustrating unknowns about the van Eycks. Also as an artist, it would be fun to go into greater detail greater magnification about the stylistic differences in composition, materials and technique that are being wrestled with in trying to decide whose hand did the disputed works although there is a good general discussion of this, especially the works completed after Jan's death. But then this volume could not have been brought in at such an attractive price. It is hard indeed to imagine whose library or bookshelf would not be graced by this little gem, especially recommended to those just beginning their study of Master Jan.

This review is from: Jan Van Eyck: Renaissance Realist (Basic Art) (German Edition) (Paperback)
Excellent read with incredibly detailed photos of his work. Lots of great information about the artist and his various pieces not only the ones he is most known for.
