      Van Eyck is seen as the artist who bridged the gap between the medieval and the modern. The Enlightenment had placed van Eyck in the Gothic tradition. Then Napoleon looted panels of his masterwork, the Ghent Altar-piece, and took them back to the Louvre. This title tells the story of the making of this artist for the modern age.
