  Just one painter?..... &nbsp;The painting is made by Hubert Van Eyck and finished by Jan Van Eyck. &nbsp;Painted on the frame =&gt;‘Hubertus van Eyck, a man of unrivalled skill, undertook this work.’<br>‘His brother Jan, second in artistry, completed this arduous task at the request of Joos Vijd.’

  I literally travelled to Ghent the day after you posted this video, I saw the painting myself and I can confirm it is mesmerising and insanely gorgeous!

  The detail in that painting is just mind-boggling.

  This video is exactly why I am &nbsp;greatful for the art history class I was forced to take in college. Didn&apos;t like the class, hated the professor, but I am a fan of going to art museums now.

  It&apos;s even more awe-inspiring to consider that oil was a new painting medium at the time.

  Most modern artists can&apos;t even dream of such an exquisite creation.

  As a Belgian, I&apos;m proud and stunned by this piece of art. Van Eyck was a hugely talented painter (&apos;Vlaamse Primitieven&apos;). Also considering this is 600 years old ...

  It&apos;s early where I am, but I have a feeling that this is the most significant video I&apos;ll see today. Thank you.
