I want to know the answer to the following question:
Of what nationality was Jan van Eyck?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Early Netherlandish painting by artists such as Jan van Eyck (d. 1441) and Rogier van der Weyden (d. 1464) rivalled that of Italy, as did northern illuminated manuscripts, which in the 15th century began to be collected on a large scale by secular elites, who also commissioned secular books, especially histories.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
