VERONA: Van Eyck Research in OpeN Access

Project Leader: Dr. Bart Fransen, Head of the Centre for the Study of the Flemish Primitives

Jury Citation: The project sets an excellent example for the documentation of works that are dispersed in numerous locations using a standardised methodology. The images are not only of the highest quality but are also accessible for further research and wider public use. The VERONA project was part of a real European cooperation between the various museums, bringing together the owners of Van Eyck’s works scattered all over Europe. The standardised system, developed for high-quality photography, and the digitisation of the image bank allow for a European interaction of research on Flemish primitives.
