The Three Marys at the Tomb (Hubert van Eyck?)

The painting was included at the seminal Exposition des primitifs flamands à Bruges in 1902.

For many years it was ascribed the only surviving work—excepting the Ghent Altarpiece—by Hubert, Jan van Eyck's older brother.

Estimates of its date of completion range from 1410 to the year of Hubert's death, 1426.

The painting is made up of a series of parallel diagonal lines, most dominant are those between the Virgin and the angel, the angel's pathway, the lengths of the tomb, and the positions of the soldiers.
