Jan van Eyck (Maaseik?, ca. 1390 - Bruges, West Flanders 9 July 1441) was a painter from the county of Loon, which fell under the prince-bishopric of Liège from 1366 onwards. He is considered to be one of the most important representatives of the Flemish Primitives. One of his best-known works is the polyptych The Lamb of God (1432), which can be seen in St Bavo's Cathedral in Ghent in East Flanders.
