Each episode of Palettes intensively investigates the work of a major Western artist. Each individual painting is carefully considered from its subject matter to the techniques used in its construction. Guided by Alain Jaubert of the Louvre, viewers stand witness to the painting secrets revealed through the use of modern technologies like x-rays and video animation. In Palettes: Great Artists and Their Paintings -- Jan van Eyck, viewers examine The Virgin of Chancellor Rolin in terms of the four characters involved in the painting and what, if any, their relationship to each other may have been. ~ Rob Ferrier, Rovi
