The National Gallery in London announced last week that it will be hosting an exhibition focusing on the portraits of Jan van Eyck in November 2026.
According to the gallery's website:
For the first time in history, see all of Jan van Eyck’s portraits together. Only once, only at the National Gallery. [...]
‘Van Eyck: The Portraits’ brings together from across Europe all nine of the artist’s known painted portraits, making up half of his surviving works worldwide. [...]
Precious and fragile, van Eyck’s paintings rarely travel, including 'The Arnolfini Portrait'. This is one of the most popular paintings in our collection and and has only ever left the Gallery once in over 100 years. The exhibition marks the first and only time these works can be brought together. And this incredible display can only happen here, at the Gallery.
The show will run from 21st November 2026 until 11th April 2027.
