In the Turin-Mailänder Hourbook we find both the earliest and the latest works of genius Jan van Eyck. They show the artist's amazing ability to give the spaces of everyday life a higher meaning with the help of light. He was also the first to create realistic portraits. In addition, he led painting to a microscopically accurate representation of reality. Jan van Eyck's miniatures document this wealth of new techniques" (klappentext). – As good as new.
