The Red Chaperon

Today on Museum Bites we’re wrapping ourselves in red with a tour through Jan van Eyck’s Portrait of a Man in a Red Chaperon (c1435-1438). At first glance this portrait may appear simple, but it is rich with detail. Join me as we peel back the layers of this fascinating piece to learn more about the art, the artist, and the man in the red chaperon.
