Was the court painter for Prince Johann of Bavaria, the Count of Holland in 1422 and in 1425 entered the service of Philip the Good of Burgundy (1396-1467) in Lille. He traveled to Spain and Portugal several times, and in 1430 he settled in Brussels . Van Eyck's innovative conception of the pictorial representation of reality had an enormous influence on European art. He showed the human figure as a body existing in a full space, rendered nature with exacting detail, and distinguished himself through his new style of surface realism. With the development of oil paints, he was able to achieve a powerful, unprecedented use of light and depth of colour. Major works by the artist include Cardinal Nicola Albergati, 1432, Man with a Red Turban, 1433, Madonna of Canon, Georg van der Paele, 1436.
