Description: New York: Abrams (Ludion Press), 2013. 33cm., hardcover, 256pp., ca. 250 color illus. English text. Summary: This book scrutinises the oeuvre of Van Eyck through a magniying glass. Significant details are pinpointed and commented on. The volume includes a short biography of the artist and an illuminating essay on the special technique of painting in oils on panel. The precision that can be found in the oeuvre of the Flemish master betrays not only a thorough knowledge of fauna and flora, but also an extremely skilful technical talent for painting. Each panel is a collection of minuscule details that are rendered with full clarity from foreground to background, or at least it gives that impression. That is precisely where Van Eyck's exceptional talent lies - he soon realised that the human brain is able to supplement visual perception where necessary.
