Artist

Jan Haeck

Jan Haeck is a Renaissance artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Catholic University of Leuven.

Jan Haeck made a single surviving photograph from the 1500s. In 1537 they shot a double portrait titled Bernard van Orley. Karel V en Isabella van Portugal, showing the emperor and his queen side by side.

The picture is plain in style, no painted brushwork, just the crisp black-and-white facts of the era. You can look closer at this early photograph, then step into the same room where the royal couple once stood.
