The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Such was his legacy, that he has been called "the inventor of oil-painting" by Vasari, Ernst Gombrich, and others, although this claim is now considered an oversimplification.
- Surviving records date his birth at around 1380 or 1390, in Maaseik by the Limburg in present-day Belgium.
- He took employment in The Hague around 1422, when he was already a master painter with workshop assistants, and was employed as painter and valet de chambre to John III the Pitiless, ruler of the counties of Holland and Hainaut.
