EYCK (Hubert Van), aFlemifh painter, the founder of 
that fchool, born at Maafeyk in 1366. He had obtained 
great reputation for his paintings in diftemper, when the 
difeovery of oil-painting by his brother John caufed him 
to practife in that branch with equal fuccefs. A capital 
piece of his, in conjunction with his brother, is preferved 
in the cathedral of Ghent. Its fuhjeCt is the adoration 
of the Lamb, from the Apocalypfe. It contains three 
hundred and thirty figures, which are painted with a great 
character of truth and nature in the heads, and the land- 
fcape is well coloured. A copy of it by Michael Coxis, 
which coft two years’ labour, is in the Efcurial. Hubert 
died in 1426. 
EYCK (John Van), younger brother and pupil to the 
preceding, born in 1370, immortalifed as the inventor of 
painting in oil colour^, which has proved of fucli infinite 
fervice to the art. He iiad long employed himfelf in 
chemical experiments upon colours, in fearch of fome 
method of fixing and preferving them, when he found that 
their preparation with linfeed or walnut oil would pro¬ 
duce the defired effcCt. Vafari, who gives him the ho¬ 
nour of this difeovery, fays, that about 1410, Antony of 
Medina, having feena picture painted iircil by John Eyck, 
which had been fent to Alphonfus I. king of Naples, went 
to learn the fecret of him, and employed it in founding 
the Venetian fchool of painting. But Mr. Rafpe has 
proved that the preparation of colours with oil was known 
many centuries before. If, however, John Van Eyck not 
only difeovered it by his own experiments, but brought 
it to fucli a (fate of practical perfection, that it thence¬ 
forth came into common life, his title to the invention 
will be as good as that of moft authors of celebrated dif- 
coveries. This painter, who fettled at Bruges, whence 
he has acquired among urtifts the name of John of Bruges, 
finiflied his pieces with extreme delicacy and minutenefs, 
though they have no great merit of delign. One of his 
principal works, confifting of a Virgin and Child and other 
figures, is preferved in the cathedral of Bruges.
