Jan van eyck is regarded as the founder of oil painting. Before him, painters always used egg white to mix pigments, but Yang Van Ike found that turpentine, linseed oil or walnut oil could be used as the blending agent, which made the pigments easier to mix and paint freely, and volatilized quickly, and could be painted repeatedly after one layer was dried, which provided a lot of convenience for describing details and drawing colors.

After the work is finished, you can also apply a thin layer of transparent oil on the surface, so that the picture will not peel off and fade easily. To this day, Yang Van Ike's works are still intact.

The power of the painter

On the wedding day, as a good friend of the groom Arnold Fini, the painter Jan Van Ike went to celebrate. In order to give the couple a special gift, Yang Van Ike avoided many guests in the living room, invited the Anofini couple into the bedroom in a mysterious way, and asked them to pose like a modern photographer to create a "wedding photo" for them to witness their beautiful love.

These concerns about color, light and small things can not help but remind people of the preference for details shown by medieval painters in the Limbaugh brothers chronicle prayer book. However, everything here is not only beautiful decoration, but also as real as a natural mirror.
