Van Eyck: The Portraits  –  21 November 2026–11 April 2027 at the National Gallery in London, UK

For the first time in history, all nine of Jan van Eyck‘s known painted portraits will be exhibited together. The 15th-century Flemish artist, hailed as “the inventor of oil painting,” captured extraordinarily lifelike details and textures, like the minuscule mirror reflection in the Arnolfini Portrait.
