Man with a Blue Chaperon

Jan van Eyck (1430)

Portrait of a Man with a Blue Chaperon (1430) by Jan van Eyck depicts a man in a blue headdress presenting a ring. Artists did not title their works in the Northern Renaissance period, so his name and true profession have been lost. As such the painting has attracted several titles: Portrait of a Man with a Blue Hood, Portrait of a Jeweler, and Man with a Ring. The painting is not signed or dated by van Eyck. Albrecht Dürer's signature "AD 1492" appears in the top left, likely added by an unscrupulous dealer to increase the value at a time when Dürer was in demand. The painting was attributed to van Eyck in the late 19th century, and in 1991 infrared photography revealed underlying methods that are unmistakably van Eyck's. Other elements typical of van Eyck are the attention to detail, texturing of the face and clothing, and use of illusion: the right hand with ring appears to project out of the painting, while the left hand rests on the lower frame.

Giclée Prints

Giclée prints are created on professional inkjet printers using archival quality, acid-free paper or canvas. Unlike a normal inkjet, prints are created using 12 different colors cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, matte black, light magenta, light cyan, light gray, very light gray, orange, green, and violet) to provide the best possible color reproduction.

Our art prints and canvases maintain the highest possible detail, preserving color, scale, proportions and visual textures, an accurate reproduction of the art.
