I believe Van Eyck used the Grisaille method due to the mediums he was using at the time. The underpainting was done in Tempera, a medium that was commonly used in his day.
The glazing, however, was not commonly used in his day. The combination of the two steps: the underpainting and the glazing, created a very realistic effect. Van Eyck was a great innovator of developing a stable glazing medium using resins and nut oils, and is credited with being the first one of the first to use them as such.
In Jan van Eyck's paintings, particularly noted are his remarkable use of oil paints and his intricate attention to detail. The oil medium allows for rich color depth and subtle gradations of light, creating a lifelike quality. Additionally, his meticulous technique captures textures and intricate patterns, whether in fabrics or natural elements, enhancing the realism and emotional impact of the scene. Together, these effects contribute to the overall sense of depth and narrative in his work.
He perfected the newly developed technique of oil painting. His naturalistic panel paintings, mostly portraits and religious subjects, made extensive use of disguised religious symbols. His masterpiece is the altarpiece?in the cathedral at Ghent, the Adoration of The Lamb (1432).
