Come Closer: Jan van Eyck's Use of Naturalism

"Come Closer" will explore the how and why of the microcosmic details in Jan van Eyck's New York Diptych. This exhibit will investigate this diptych's function as a devotional object, it will compare van Eyck's oil paintings to the art of the Italian Renaissance, and it will take a deep dive into the 'hidden symbols' of each panel.
