Answer:

Jan van Eyck was a Flemish painter who worked in Bruges. He is considered one of the best painters in northern Europe in the 15th century and the most famous of the Flemish Primitives. Robert Campin and the Van Eyck brothers in Flanders, were the transition figures from the international Gothic to the so-called Flemish school. The Flemish style that occurred in the Netherlands in the fifteenth century has traditionally been considered as the last phase of Gothic painting.
