Helgi Þorgils Friðjónsson (born March 7, 1953 in Búðardalur, Iceland) is an Icelandic artist.
 He grew up in Búðardalur and moved at the age of 15 to Reykjavík.
 He studied Fine Arts and Crafts from 1971 to 1976, after which he went to The Hague and studied at De Vrije Academie (1976–77) and then at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht.
 He returned to Iceland when his studies were finished in 1979.
Mariana Castillo Deball (born 1975 in Mexico City) is an artist who studied in the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico City and the Jan Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht.
 She is currently based in Berlin.
 In 2009, she was awarded the Ars Viva prize, which has been presented by the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft im BDI (Association of Arts and Culture of the German Economy at the Federation of German Industries) every year since 1953, and is awarded to young visual artists who live and work in Germany.
 Castillo Deball uses installation, sculpture, photography and drawing to explore the role objects play in our understanding of identity and history.
 Engaging in prolonged periods of research and field work, she takes on the role of the explorer or the archaeologist, compiling found materials in a way that reveals new connections and meanings.
 In Castillo Deball's 2013 work Stelae Storage, Plaster casts copied from monolithic Mayan stone sculptures called stelae are displayed on metal racks similar to those found in a museum's storage area.
 In a similar work, Lost Magic Kingdoms Paolozzi (2013), Castillo Deball culled photographic reproductions from the personal archives of late Scottish artist Eduardo Paolozzi, who mixed pop and ethnographic references.
Portrait of Margaret van Eyck (or Margaret, the Artist's Wife) is a 1439 oil on wood painting by the Early Netherlandish master Jan van Eyck.
 It is one of the two latest of his surviving paintings, and one of the earliest European artworks to depict a painter's spouse.
 Completed when she was around 34, it was hung until the early 18th century in the Bruges chapel of the Guild of painters.
 The work is thought to be a pendant or diptych panel for either a now lost self-portrait known from records until 1769, or of Jan van Eyck's likely self-portrait now in the National Gallery in London.
The Just Judges or The Righteous Judges is the lower left panel of the Ghent Altarpiece, painted by Jan van Eyck or his brother Hubert Van Eyck between 1430–32.
 It is believed that the panel shows portraits of several contemporary figures such as Philip the Good, and possibly the artists Hubert and Jan van Eyck themselves.
 The panel was stolen in 1934 and has never been found.
Ragna Sigurðardóttir (born in Reykjavík on 10 August 1962) is an Icelandic writer, translator and artist.

The Jan van Eyck Academie is a post-academic institute for research and production in the fields of fine art, design and art theory, based in Maastricht, Netherlands.
 The academy was established in 1948 and is named after the painter Jan van Eyck.

 In 2012, the Hubert van Eyck Academie was established as a 'teaching bridge', linking the Jan van Eyck Academy with Maastricht University and other Maastricht art schools.
Crucifixion is a recently discovered early 15th century drawing of the death of Jesus now attributed to Jan van Eyck or his workshop.
 It is variously dated to the early 1430s, implying an original van Eyck, or c. 1440, making it a pastiche by a workshop member after Jan's death.
 The only other known van Eyck drawing is the "Study for Cardinal Niccolò Albergati" if you exclude the 1437 "Saint Barbara" as an unfinished painting, although there are similarities between the two; especially in it's perspective, the angel of the viewer's point of view, and the shadings of the rock formations.
 The quality of draftsmanship is of the first rate, and it is perhaps the most elaborate and complex surviving drawing from the 16th century.
Maastricht (] ; Limburgish : "Mestreech" ; French: "Maestricht" ; Spanish: "Mastrique" ) is a city and a municipality in the southeast of the Netherlands.
 It is the capital and largest city of the province of Limburg, as well as the largest city in the historical duchy of Limburg, that today spans the Netherlands and Belgium.
The Dresden Triptych (or Virgin and Child with St. Michael and St. Catherine and a Donor, or Triptych of the Virgin and Child) is a very small hinged-triptych altarpiece by the Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck.
 It consists of five individual panel paintings: a central inner panel, and two double-sided wings.
 It is signed and dated 1437, and in the permanent collection of the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden, with the panels still in their original frames.
 The only extant triptych attributed to van Eyck, and the only non-portrait signed with his personal motto, "" ("I Do as I Can").
 the triptych can be placed at the midpoint of his known works.
 It echoes a number of the motifs of his earlier works while marking an advancement in his ability in handling depth of space, and establishes iconographic elements of Marian portraiture that were to become widespread by the latter half of the 15th century.
 Elisabeth Dhanens describes it as "the most charming, delicate and appealing work by Jan van Eyck that has survived".
Jan van Eyckplein, also known as Jan van Eyck Square, is a square located at the intersection of Academiestraat, Spiegelrei and Spanjaardstraat in Bruges, the capital and largest city of the West Flanders province in the Flemish Region of Belgium.
 The square is named for noted Northern Renaissance painter Jan van Eyck.
