| Sumario: | The surviving work of Flemish painter Jan van Eyck (c. 1395-1441) consists of a series of painstakingly detailed oil paintings of astonishing verisimilitude.

Harbison investigates the personal histories of the true models and participants who sat for such masterpieces as the Virgin and Chil. |
