Abstract
Jan van Eyck is undoubtedly the most famous of the Flemish artists of the fifteenth century. His appointment in 1425 as court painter to Philip the Good made his fame spread rapidly throughout Europe. By order of the duke he made several trips abroad, including one to Spain and Portugal in 1428-1429. The traces left by Jan van Eyck in Spain have haunted many art historians. Despite Eyckian influences in various Castilian and Aragonese painters, only one panel is conserved from the master’s workshop that was specially made for Spain: The Fountain of Life, now in the Prado Museum. This enigmatic and magnificent painting is the first to witness the deep appreciation of the art of Van Eyck in Spain since the fifteenth century.Downloads
