"Van Eyck" by J. Cyril M. Weale is a historical account written in the early 20th century, focusing on the influential Dutch painters Hubert and John van Eyck. This book delves into the lives, artistic techniques, and major works of both artists, highlighting their pivotal roles in the development of oil painting and their impact on northern European art. The book offers an in-depth exploration of the artistic journeys of the Van Eyck brothers, tracing Hubert's early years in the town of Maaseyck and John’s subsequent rise to prominence in the court of Burgundy. Weale meticulously details significant works, such as the "Adoration of the Lamb" polyptych and other masterpieces that showcase the brothers' techniques, attention to detail, and contributions to the art world. The narrative intertwines their personal lives, including their mentorship of one another and the recognition they received from nobility, creating a rich tapestry that illustrates the evolution of their art and its influence on subsequent generations.
