Compare and contrast the painting techniques of Jan van Eyck’s Madonna and Child with the Chancellor Rolin and Tom Wudl’s Rembrandt’s Indulgence was Van Gogh’s Dilemma.

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Jan van Eyck uses the smooth, fine qualities of oil paint and the reflective glazes to depict sparkling jewels, textiles, and textured furs.
2. The oil paint medium allowed for a wide range of vibrant colors that create a sense of realism and spatial depth.
3. Tom Wudl uses the direct painting method and impasto to build up thick layers of paint that swirl and appear to project from the canvas.
4. Wudl juxtaposes this with the smooth, thin texture of a metal pitcher, depicting the object with trompe l’oeil realism.
