Flemish artist, Jan van Eyck (1390 – 1441) is known as the father of oil painting. While he did not invent oil painting, he found new ways to paint with this medium particularly glazing. He painted light and color in a naturalistic style. The above painting, Man in a Red Turban (1433) is thought to be a self portrait. Van Eyck’s use of glazing transparent layers of paint over dry layers of paint resulted in intense, vivid color.
