It is a surprise to me.. It is a great example of ART...

Wow... even the primitive ( (in the sense that in 1700 they weren't sophisticated and culturally prepared) English in the 1700s painted beautiful pictures.. Congratulations to the Anglo-Saxons.



Giorgio Vasari was the highest Italian, and therefore in the whole world, authority in terms of art .. ( above all sculptures paintings ..)...


Vasari Giorgio about flemish:... The so-called Flemish Primitives were the first to popularize the use of oil paint. Their art has its origins in the miniature painting of the late Gothic period. Chief among them were Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, Hugo van der Goes, Robert Campin and Rogier van der Weyden. The court of the Duchy of Burgundy was an important source of patronage.


For Vasari also Jan van Eyck paintings were "primitive" compared to paintings of Italian painters..

PS.. To me.. Vasari was too much drunk to define Jan van Eyck "primitive"..
