Hubert van Eyck and Jan van Eyck were influential Flemish painters from the early 15th century. They are best known for their contributions to the Northern Renaissance, particularly through their detailed and realistic oil paintings. Hubert is often credited with the creation of the Ghent Altarpiece, a significant work in art history, although much of it was completed by Jan after Hubert's death. Jan van Eyck is recognized for his mastery of oil painting techniques and his ability to capture light and texture. His works, such as the Arnolfini Portrait, showcase intricate details and vibrant colors. Jan's innovative approach greatly influenced the development of European painting.
