The Man In A Turban (show above) is one of Jan Van Eyck's most famous panting and used his famous art style which started an art movement in the renaissance. This painting uses styles such as his 3/4s face view style adding a new way of art perspective.

Jan made a ton of famous portraits throughout his career but this was his first one. Jan made many details that all had purpose and told a story and there was a ton of that in this portrait. The man is holding a script and there are words under the man that apear to say LEAL SOVVENIR. When translated to english these words come to say "loyal remembrance". You can also notice that the man is looking away from the viewer giving it a 3/4s face view. This was new to the world of art and was one of the many ways Jan influenced modern art.
