"Virgin at the Source" is a painting attributed to the Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck, who is renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and innovative use of oil paints. Although the exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, it is generally believed to have been produced during the early to mid-15th century, a period when van Eyck was at the height of his artistic prowess.

The painting depicts the Virgin Mary seated at a natural spring, a motif that symbolizes purity and the source of life, both central themes in Marian iconography. The Virgin is often portrayed in a serene and contemplative manner, reflecting her role as the mother of Christ and a figure of divine grace. The background of the painting typically features a lush, detailed landscape, showcasing van Eyck's skill in rendering naturalistic settings with remarkable precision.

Van Eyck's use of oil paint allowed him to achieve a level of detail and luminosity that was unprecedented at the time. This technique enabled him to create intricate textures and subtle gradations of light and shadow, which contribute to the lifelike quality of his works. The "Virgin at the Source" exemplifies these qualities, with its delicate rendering of the Virgin's garments, the reflective surface of the water, and the intricate foliage surrounding the scene.

The painting also reflects the theological and philosophical currents of the time, particularly the emphasis on the Virgin Mary as an intercessor and a symbol of the Church. The natural spring can be interpreted as a metaphor for the fountain of life and the cleansing power of the sacraments, themes that were deeply resonant in the religious thought of the period.

While the attribution to Jan van Eyck is widely accepted, some art historians have debated the authorship, suggesting that it may have been produced by a member of his workshop or a contemporary follower. Regardless of its precise origins, "Virgin at the Source" remains a significant example of Early Netherlandish painting and a testament to the enduring influence of Jan van Eyck's artistic innovations.
