Jan Van Eyck

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.
