Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568-1625) "Vase of Flowers" Oil on panel Baroque Located in the Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain

MWW Artwork of the Day (4/3/26) Jan Van Eyck (Flemish, c. 1390-1441)& Workshop The Crucifixion; The Last Judgment (c. 1430) Oil on canvas, transferred from wood, 56.5 x 19.7 cm. each panel The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Fletcher Fund)

These pictures, juxtaposing Christ's sacrifice for the salvation of mankind with the Last Judgment, are early works by Jan van Eyck, the most celebrated painter of fifteenth-century Europe. The "Crucifixion" is presented as an eyewitness account set against a distant landscape, astonishing for its depth and subtlety of description. By contrast, the "Last Judgment" is organized hieratically in three tiers, with the scale of the figures manipulated to indicate their relative importance. The texts on the original frames are given form in the pictures with remarkable literalness, establishing a play between word and image that would have been admired by contemporaries.
