Jan Van Eyck

February 08, 2018

Jan Van Eyck was a Netherlandish painter from Belgium. He was part of the Northern Renaissance but there was a clear Gothic inspiration with the use of dark colors in his works. Not only did he use oil paints for those dark colors but he also used Egg Tempra. Which both took long to dry and master using.

Giotto, an Italian painter from Florence, was a talented man indeed. From his many works you can see the sentence color and emotion springing from each painting. You can clearly see that he was influenced by the religion surrounding Florence. He uses many depictions of Jesus and saints in his pieces. He was born and dies in the late Gothic/Proto Renaissance.
