Raiders Of The Lost Art - Season 2

Leonardo da Vinci is believed by many to have been the most talented individual who ever lived. But, while his greatest legacy remains in his art, we're still unearthing the secrets of how he worked.

Jan van Eyck left behind a remarkable legacy of works, including the spectacular Ghent altarpiece, but very little evidence of who he exactly was. van Eyck was a key figure in the early northern renaissance that would produce further great masters such as Hans Holbein and Albrecht Durer. After he died, his reputation would only grow and grow, and his paintings would become highly sought after by buyers and thieves alike and, in the process, the mysterious tale of the van Eyck family would slowly be revealed.
