The Van Eycks And Their Art is a book written by William Henry James Weale and originally published in 1912. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the life and work of the Van Eyck brothers, Jan and Hubert, who were among the most influential artists of the Northern Renaissance. Weale's book explores the brothers' artistic techniques, influences, and innovations, as well as their impact on the art world of their time and beyond. The book includes detailed analyses of some of the Van Eycks' most famous works, including the Ghent Altarpiece and the Arnolfini Portrait. In addition to the art itself, Weale delves into the cultural and historical context in which the Van Eycks were working, including the political and religious climate of the time.
