Charles Hubert Eyck (24 March 1897 – 2 August 1983) was a Dutch visual artist. Together with Henri Jonas [nl] and Joep Nicolas, he was a pioneer of the Limburg School [nl].

Life and work

[edit]
Limburgs bevrijdingsmonument on the Koningsplein in Maastricht
Sculpture Het Verkeer in the station hall of Utrecht Centraal. The statue was unveiled in 1939 but only placed in 1940. It was a gift from the Personeelraad to the management of the NS in honor of the centenary of the NS[1]

Charles Eyck was born in 1897 in Meerssen.[2] He received his training at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam. He had previously started as a pottery painter[2] at the ceramics factory Céramique in Maastricht.[3] In 1922, he won the Prix de Rome. After short stays in Sweden, Curaçao, southern France, Amsterdam, Clamart and Utrecht, he settled in Schimmert.

Initially, his work was expressionistic in style. He was later criticized for persisting in a more or less consistent religious style. Partly because of these criticisms and his increasing deafness, he lived more and more in seclusion in the house "Ravensbos" in Schimmert, which he designed himself.

After the unveiling of the Bevrijdingsraam in the Sint Janskerk in Gouda (1947), Eyck was presented with the decoration of a Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau. He returned the award almost twenty years later, because he could not agree with a marriage between Princess Beatrix and the German Claus.[4]

Charles Eyck died at the age of 86.[5]
