Possible JAN VAN EYCK PAINTING FOUND

was found in religious institution hallway. I really believe it has all the the hallmarks of Jan van Eyck. May even be depicting brother van eick holding child.
Windows on right may even spell van eyck on top.
What do you think.??

 

Ghent-outa-here!

 

Possibly a reproduction of a 15th century German altar panel. It is best to ask the religious institution about it.

I don't see any. And while it is a very good panel, it doesn't have the quality of a van Eyck, see below.

Hubert van Eyck?

I see Hebrew lettering on the right, on what could be the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments.

Examples of van Eyck panels with, among others, Madonna and Child, with a clear difference in style and talent from the altar panel you posted:

 

The scene depicted looks to be The Presentation in the Temple.

Nice painting. Is it yours?

 

This is a possible selfportrait of Hubert van Eyck:



And a possible selfportrait of Jan van Eyck:

 

It could also be a total different commission from another church and it could be a job with both brothers working together on same painting.

 

No I wish. I found the post on an antique website.

 

The post stated that he was helping the religious institution on research but nothing else.

 

Windows on right may even spell van eyck on top.

in some other universe , maybe !

 

In this universe:
יאן ואן אייק

 

Van Eyck would probably have used the window on the left to display his keen interest in and mastery of perspective. The painting in question looks very flat.

 

It could have been painted by two brothers, but not by the van Eyck brothers. The style is too different.

If it is a painting instead of a repro (we can't tell from the tiny photo), the religious institution should take it to a museum and not have someone ask about it online, imho.

 

The tablets all but have to be the 10 Commandments. Presentation in the Temple is highly likely. I'm not art expert, but it doesn't look like either van Eyck got within 50 meters of that unless they went to church. It reads older than the Dutch work too.

 

NOT Jan van Eyck. Not his style.

Q: Does anyone know if the letters are real-or pseudo-Hebrew?

Any better pictures of this Presentation?

 

Can you give us the url for the website?

 

Yes, it is a Presentation in the Temple. (Note maidservant with doves for sacrifice.) Does not seem to include the aged Prophetess Anna. (AI thinks it is a Circumcision. Moral: Do not use AI for iconographical identification.)
Presentation in the Temple: Luke 2:22-38. (AI can find that at least.)

 

Great hats! Almost looks like Father Christmas joined in.
