Curator's introduction: Van Eyck: The Portraits

For the first time in history, 'Van Eyck: The Portraits' brings together all the artist’s surviving portraits, making up half of his surviving works worldwide.

Curator Emma Capron guides you through the exhibition, offering expert insights and an up-close view of these remarkable paintings.

Breathing life into van Eyck’s world, the exhibition introduces the people he painted and his extraordinary skill and powers of observation. Watchful eyes, a hint of stubble, wrinkles, flushed cheeks: van Eyck captured his subjects in all their intimate details.
