Van Eyck in WashDC

This is the painting that I saw in Wash DC that reconfirmed my interest in van Eyck beyond the Arnolfini. Wanted to share.

The annunciation scene with Mary: surprise! Love the wing and robe. See Mary with a book. 

Can you find this amazing detail featuring Old Testament scenes  in image no. 1? (answer: look on the ground)

  1. I think it is really impressive how much detail they put into some of these paintings. Like the old testament scenes on the ground are really revealing scenes that i find to be extremely cool.
