Jan van Eyck (or Johannes de Eyck ) ( Dutch pronunciation: [ˈjɑn vɑn ˈɛjk] ) (before c. 1395 – before 9 July 1441) was a Flemish painter active in Bruges and is generally considered one of the most significant Northern European painters of the 15th century. The few surviving records indicate that he was born around 1390, most likely in Maaseik . Little is known of his early life, but his activities following his appointment to the court of Philip the Good c. 1425 are comparatively well documented. Van Eyck had previously served John of Bavaria-Straubing , then ruler of Holland, Hainault and Zeeburg.
