The Museum of Fine Arts Ghent presented Van Eyck. An Optical Revolution in what is described the largest exhibition celebrating Jan van Eyck to date. While the museum’s doors might be temporarily closed, there is still an opportunity to experience his incredible art, alongside contemporaries and those he inspired, such as Tydeman Maes and Benozzo Gozzoli, in our virtual gallery.
