The setting of a Roman gallery brings together four characters in van Eyck’s The Virgin of Chancellor Rolin. Nicolas Rolin, the Duke of Burgundy’s minister of finance, is on his knees before the Madonna, who is being crowned by an angel. Rolin is being blessed by the infant Jesus. Outside, a rich landscape is peopled with a number of unknown characters. The work is analyzed as a complex painting, difficult to decipher. (28 minutes)
