The show marks the first time in history these works, half of the artist's surviving output, can be seen together. Van Eyck's vision and skill launched painting into a new era of unrivalled realism, capturing intimate details like stubble, wrinkles and flushed cheeks in subjects who lived 600 years ago. The portraits show successful craftsmen, merchants and the artist's relatives rather than kings and queens, telling a story of people and a moment when access to art widened.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/van-eyck-the-portraits-37258/", "official_url": "https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/exhibitions/van-eyck-the-portraits", "image": "https://noky.io/images/7313a318d142f89982763af11d2e66b69493bfd1098ddae5f6b328edd84fc4a3-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-21T00:00:00Z", "end": "2027-04-11T00:00:00+01:00", "place": "National Gallery", "address": "London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "The Bloomsbury Group, 1910-1920 \"Character Changed\" | An exhibition of works by the Bloomsbury painters Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant and Roger Fry", "start": "2026-11-10T00:00:00Z", "end": "2026-12-09T00:00:00Z", "place": "Philip Mould", "address": "Pall Mall 18-19, SW1Y 5LU London", "price": "Free to all | No booking required", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "category": "exhibitions-museums", "tags": ["art/painting"], "description": "An exhibition of paintings by the Bloomsbury painters Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant and Roger Fry, shown at Philip Mould & Company and titled after Virginia Woolf's declaration that 'on or about December 1910 human character changed.'
