An Eye for Detail Preview Clip

The fine detail of early Netherlandish paintings has continued for over five centuries to delight all who see them. Lifelike illusionism based on the imitation of light effects and surface textures characterizes both portraits and devotional pictures. This video explores some outstanding examples of early Netherlandish paintings from The National Gallery's collection, including works by Jan Van Eyck, Robert Campin and Rogier van der Weyden.
