Inscription: upper center: I.N.R.I. (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews) Samuel H. Kress Collection 1939.1.143 ENTRY The Crucifixion is enacted in front of the crenellated wall of the city of Jerusalem. The cross is flanked above by four fluttering angels, three of whom collect the blood that flows from the wounds in Christ’s hands and side. To the left of the Cross, the Holy Women, a compact group, support the swooning Mary, mother of Jesus. Mary Magdalene kneels at the foot of the Cross, caressing Christ’s feet with her hands. To the right of the Cross stand Saint John the Evangelist, in profile, and a group of soldiers with the centurion in the middle, distinguished by a halo, who recognizes the Son of God in Jesus.[1] The painting’s small size, arched shape, and composition suggest that it originally belonged to a portable altarpiece, of which it formed the central panel’s upper tier [fig. 1].[2] The hypothesis was first advanced by Evelyn Sandberg-Vavalà (originally drafted 1939, published 1969), who based it on stylistic, compositional, and iconographic affinities between a small triptych now in the Galleria Nazionale of Parma [fig.

  • The Subject, Sitters, and Significance of the Arnolfini Marriage Portrait
    Venezia Arti [online] ISSN 2385-2720 Vol. 26 – Dicembre 2017 [print] ISSN 0394-4298 Why Was Jan van Eyck here? The Subject, Sitters, and Significance of The Arnolfini Marriage Portrait Benjamin Binstock (Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, New York City, USA) Abstract Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Marriage Portrait of 1434 still poses fundamental questions. An overlooked account explained the groom’s left hand holding his bride’s right hand as a secular, legal morganatic marriage with a bride of lower social rank and wealth. That would explain Van Eyck’s presence as witness in the mirror and through his inscription, and corresponds to the recent identification of the bride and groom as Giovanni di Arrigo Arnolfini and his previously unknown first wife Helene of unknown last name. Van Eyck’s scene can be called the first modern painting, as the earliest autonomous, illusionistic representation of secular reality, provided with the earliest artist’s signature of the modern type, framing his scene as perceived and represented by a particular individual. That is why Jan van Eyck was here. Summary 1 What is being disguised: religious symbolism or secular art? – 2 A morganatic, left-handed marriage. – 3 The sitters: Giovanni di Arrigo Arnolfini and his first wife Helene? – 4 Van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait as the first modern painting. – 5 Van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait within his oeuvre and tradition. – 6 Van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait and art historical method. Keywords Jan van Eyck. Signature. Arnolfini. Morganatic Marriage. Modern painting. For Marek Wieczorek What is the hardest of all? What you think is the easiest.

  • Jan Van Eyck's Annunciation
    Jan van Eyck’s Annunciation John Oliver Hand National Gallery of Art The Annunciation by Jan van Eyck is one of the treasures of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art, and its creator, a founder of the early Netherlandish school of painting, must be numbered among the greatest artists of all time. This exhibition celebrates the return of the Annunciation to public view after an absence of more than two years, during which rime it was painstakingly cleaned and restored (fig. 1). As a result of this treatment, the brilliance of Van Eyck's accomplishment can now be more fully understood and admired. “As Best I Can": The Artist's Career Jan van Eyck's exact date and place of birth are unknown. It is generally thought that he and his brother Hubert came from Maaseik, a town north of Maastrict, and that Jan was probably born no later than about 1390. To judge from the surviving documents, Jan van Eyck's career was spent as a court artist. He is first recorded in 1422 working for John of Bavaria, count of Holland, in The Hague. After the count's death Van Eyck moved to Bruges, and he was appointed painter and varlet de chambre to Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, on 19 May 1425. Until the end of 1429 the artist resided at the court in Lille, but he was entrusted by Philip with several secret missions. Van Eyck may have been sent to Spain in 1427 to negotiate a marriage between Philip and Isabella of Aragon, and he was in Lisbon in 1428 and 1429 where a marriage was successfully contracted between the duke of Burgundy and Isabella of Portugal.

It has been tentatively attributed to Petrus Cristus, with the reservation, however, that it is "almost a van Eyck."1 To the attribution to Petrus Cristus there are several objections. The Friedsam painting does not show the technical characteristics of the other works by this master (the handling of the medium being "more archaic," as I learn from an eminent American X-ray expert,2 nor does it fit into his artistic development.

ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 6:2 (Summer 2014) 1 THE TURIN-MILAN HOURS: REVISED DATING AND ATTRIBUTION Carol Herselle Krinsky Identifying Jan van Eyck as Hand G of the Turin-Milan Hours depends substantially on the identification of Duke John of Bavaria as sometime owner of the manuscript. Although the Turin-Milan Hours contains the arms of Hainaut, Holland, and Bavaria, the duke had legal claim only to parts of Holland. Neither the Estates of Hainaut nor Countess Jacqueline of Bavaria, heiress of John’s brother, recognized his sovereignty in Hainaut. The arms on fol. 93v are likely those of the still-unknown owner. The manuscript was probably finished in one campaign circa 1450 in Bruges, not in the several campaigns of work that scholars have usually proposed. Jan van Eyck was therefore not among the illuminators.

  • The Sparkling Stones in the Ghent Altarpiece and the Fountain of Life of Jan Van Eyck, Reflecting Cusanus and Jan Van Ruusbroec
    Studies in Spirituality 24, 155-177. doi: 10.2143/SIS.24.0.3053495 © 2014 by Studies in Spirituality. All rights reserved. WOLFGANG CHRISTIAN SCHNEIDER THE SPARKLING STONES IN THE GHENT ALTARPIECE AND THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE OF JAN VAN EYCK, REFLECTING CUSANUS AND JAN VAN RUUSBROEC For Lothar Graf zu Dohna, on the occasion of his ninetieth birthday, May 4th, 2014 SUMMARY – The rich use of precious stones in the panels of the Ghent Altarpiece is due to the presence of stones in the Rivers of Para- dise (Gn 2:10-14: onyx and bedolah, i.e. sardonyx or carnelian and jet) and in the goshen of the High Priest in Exodus (28.15 to 21), which inspired the description of the heavenly Jerusalem in the Apocalypse (21.9 to 21). Whereas within the Fountain of Life in the Prado, which since new investigations is to be ascribed to Jan van Eyck, on the side of the Synagogue all stones are concentrated in the Goshen, on the side of the Ecclesia the precious stones are spread over the spiritual and secular leaders. This later moment is maintained in the Ghent Altarpiece, in which Jan van Eyck in addition to the biblical sources picks up state- ments of Jan van Ruusbroec. Citing the Apocalypse the Flemish mystic spoke of a sparkling stone, which is given to the one, who transcends all things, and in it he gains light and truth and life. Exactly that was painted by Jan van Eyck. Mysticism is widely seen as a matter of the word: the figurative seems to be at best an illustration of what is said about the mystical appearances.

  • The MSK Is Announcing New Loans That Will Be on Show in Ghent from 1 February 2020 at the Largest Van Eyck-Exhibition Ever
    Press release 12.12.2019 The MSK is announcing new loans that will be on show in Ghent from 1 February 2020 at the largest Van Eyck-exhibition ever On 1 February 2020, the largest exhibition ever to focus on Jan van Eyck is opening at the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent (MSK). More than 40 000 visitors have already bought their tickets and visitors from countries from all over the world, including Japan, Russia and the US, are getting ready for their visit to Ghent. Today, 2 months before the opening, the MSK is announcing yet another sneak peek. New loans and restorations/conservations It is with great pride that the MSK can confirm the exhibition will include an exceptional loan from the National Gallery: Jan van Eyck's 'Portrait of a Man (Léal souvenir)'. This masterpiece is one of the three Van Eycks in the National Gallery’s collection and, together with the Ghent Altarpiece, is the earliest dated painting in the oeuvre of the master. Paintings by Van Eyck are rarely allowed to leave the museums where they are held, and that certainly holds true for 'Portrait of a Man (Léal souvenir)'. Moreover, the masterpiece is currently undergoing conservation especially for the occasion. In addition to this enigmatic masterpiece from the National Gallery, the MSK is announcing that the inspiring ‘Portrait of Jan de Leeuw’ from the Kunsthistorisch Museum in Vienna will be joining the impressive portrait gallery of the exhibition. The intense glance of the sitter, possibly a friend of the painter, transcends the distance between art and reality and is ultimate proof of Van Eyck’s genius.

Seven Sacraments Altarpiece. 1440-1450, oil on panel The sacraments of the Catholic Church are, the Roman Catholic Church teaches, "efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us. The visible rites by which the sacraments are celebrated signify and make present the graces proper to each sacrament. They bear fruit in those who receive them with the required dispositions.” While the Church itself is the universal sacrament of salvation, the sacraments of the Catholic Church in the strict sense are seven sacraments that "touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith.” On the left panel are baptism, confirmation and confession and on the right hand panel the ordination of a priest, marriage and the last rites. The central panel (possibly the only autograph part of the work) is dominated by a crucifixion in the foreground, with the sacrament of the Eucharist in the background.
