Hubert van Eyck
Early Netherlandish painter (c. 1385 – 1426)
In this Dutch name, the surname is van Eyck, not Eyck.
Hubert[a] van Eyck (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈɦybərtfɑnˈɛik]; c. 1385/90 – 18 September 1426) was an Early Netherlandish painter and older brother of Jan van Eyck,[b] as well as Lambert and Margareta, also painters. The absence of any single work that he can clearly be said to have completed continues to make an assessment of his achievement highly uncertain, although for centuries he had the reputation of being an outstanding founding artist of Early Netherlandish painting.[1]
Life and career
[edit]He was probably born in Maaseik, in what is now the Belgian province of Limburg, into a family in the gentry.
As the name was not a very common one, he is probably the "Magister Hubertus, Pictor" recorded as having been paid in 1409 for panels in the church of Onze Lieve Vrouwe, Tongeren. He is probably also Master Hubert who had painted a panel bequeathed in 1413 by Jan de Visch van der Capelle to his daughter, a Benedictine nun near Grevelingen; however he does not appear in guild records, and his heirs did not include any children, so it has been suggested that he may have been in minor orders, perhaps att

Jan van Eyck (van EYEK; Dutch:[ˈjɑɱvɑnˈɛik]; c. before 1390 – 9 July 1441) was a Flemish painter active in Bruges who was one of the early innovators of what became known as Early Netherlandish painting, and one of the most significant representatives of Early Northern Renaissance art. According to Vasari and other art historians including Ernst Gombrich, he invented oil painting,[1] though most now regard that claim as an oversimplification.
The surviving records indicate that he was born around 1380 or 1390, in Maaseik (then Maaseyck, hence his name), Limburg, which is located in present-day Belgium. He took employment in The Hague around 1422, wh
