A Flemish painter, born sometime around 1380-1390, van Eyck is known as one of the early innovators of Early Netherlandish painting.
He's also one of the most important representatives of what's known as Early Northern Renaissance art.
As a master painter, he was employed by John III the Pitiless, the ruler of Holland and Hainaut, as well as Philip the Good, the Duke of Burgundy.
Van Eyck wasn't just a painter, he also acted as a diplomat for Philip.
