 Jan Van EyckGHENT ALTERPIECE, Saint Bavo Cathedral 1432 |  Extraordinary use of layers and glazes. Polypytych. Grissaille. Painted to give a sense of light. Every figure, garment, and object rendered with loving fidelity to appearance. |
| Jan Van Eyck MAN IN A RED TURBAN 1433 |  Seems to be the first Western portrait in a thousand years in which figure looks viewer in the eyes. Inscription suggests it is a self portrait. Detail- veins under eyes. |
| Jan Van Eyck GIOVANNI ARNOLFINI AND HIS BRIDE 1434 |  Major role in popularizing oil painting & estab. portraiture as an important art form. He portrayed himself in the mirror. |
| Rogier Van Der Weyden DEPOSITION 1435 |  Resembles a relief carving in which biblical figures act out a drama of passionate sorrow as if on a shallow theatrical stage. No art bears his name. Many figures of his are right on the picture plane. |
| Hugo Van Der Goes PORTINARI ALTERPIECE ca. 1476 |  Rare instance in the awarding of a major commission of Florence to a Flemish painter. Italians admired the incredibly realistic details of Hugos figures. Designed on oval. Jesus portrayed as an ordinary infant, instead of wizened, self-knowing entity. |
| Martin Schongauer SAINT ANTHONY TORMENTED BY DEMONS ca. 1480-1490 |  Most skilled of the early masters of metal engraving. Used a burin to incise lines and create a variety of values and tones. Saint Anthony is always depicted as being tormented. |
