This Might Just Be The Most Detailed Painting Ever Made

This painting measures barely sixty-six centimeters. And yet, within it, Jan van Eyck painted an entire city with hundreds of buildings, a bridge full of tiny people, a garden where every flower can be identified, and complete biblical scenes the size of a coin. But hidden among all these details, there is something more. A deliberately altered Bible story. And two mysterious figures that could reveal the artist himself hiding inside his own work. In this video we explore every incredible detail of The Madonna of Chancellor Rolin, and why it might just be the most detailed painting ever made. ► Shop "Madonna of Chancellor Rolin" (c. 1435) at - https://www.inspiraggio.com/products/madonna-of-chancellor-rolin-jan-van-eyck-c-1435 ► Shop Art Prints & Canvas at - https://www.inspiraggio.com/collections/shop-all ► Shop Fine Art Phone Cases at - https://www.inspiraggio.com/collections/iphone-cases → Join our FREE newsletter: https://www.inspiraggio.com/pages/newsletter → Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inspiraggio → Contact: [email protected] 0:00 Introduction 0:42 Madonna of Chancellor Rolin 2:05 Nicolas Rolin 3:23 Analysis 6:42 Self Portrait?
