EYCK, HUBERT or HUYBRECHT
VAN, born at
Maaseyck after
1366, died in
Ghent Sept. 18,
1426. Flemish
school. There are
no authentic records
of his life
until 1424, when
he was living in
high repute as a
painter in Ghent.
The honour of
perfecting oil
painting, long known but hitherto undeveloped,
belongs to Hubert and his brother
Jan. They invented a colourless varnish
which could be applied with safety to oil
colours, and thus obviated the only impediment
to their use, namely, their excessive
slowness in drying, which had been before
met by the use of a varnish which darkened
many colours and was therefore objectionable.
Their new method was that of painting
with wet upon wet colour. The tints
were mixed with the drying medium upon
the palette, and then applied. Hubert's
one certainly authentic work is that part of
