‘... One area in which Flemish artists excelled was in their observation of the effects of light.* This was not simply a matter of correctly painting the fall of shadows – their observation in this respect was often faulty. It concerned much more the effects of light on landscape and distance, on interior settings, and on different substances and materials, such as metal, brocade or wood. The unsurpassed genius in this art was Jan van Eyck (fl[ourished] 1391-1444).’**
