They should move it

A fascinating story on multiple levels, concisely told here.

No sfx please.

Interesting❤

Worth checking out the The Hockney Falco thesis, advanced by artist David Hockney and physicist Charles M. Falco. 'Both argued that advances in realism and accuracy in the history of Western art since the Renaissance were primarily the result of optical instruments such as the camera obscura, camera lucida, and curved mirrors, rather than solely due to the development of artistic technique and skill. Nineteenth-century artists' use of photography had been well documented.'

The story is interesting, and I like the details but please those sound affects are jarring and very loud !

Good video, interesting, but I don't like the 'whoosh' sound effects or the camera clicks.

Have an art history minor. Studied the Renaissance under Thomas Martin. I've always thought all of van Eyck heads resemble eggs. A whole world of Humpty-Dumpty's!

I'm one of those doinks who goes over high-quality plates in books with a magnifying glass. I had noticed the scenes from the Passion surrounding the mirror were in an unusual order. Generally, the earliest scene -- in this case, Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, complete with Peter, James, and John snoozing at the right -- would appear at the top of a circle. Here, however, it's at the bottom, and the scene of the actual Crucifixion is at the top. I thought, "Hmm. I wonder why van Eyck made such a choice?" Your explanation makes absolute sense. I also had noted the single lit candle. When one appears in a painting, it usually indicates the presence of God. In this case, four of the sockets in the chandelier are completely empty, while the one over the woman's head has little dribbles of dried wax left from the candle guttering out. I'd never noticed the dried white wax. My eye skimmed right over it, and my brain chalked it up to daylight reflecting off the brightly-polished brass. Here again, your explanation clarifies the meaning of the picture. So many things add up better.

This is my all time favorite portrait. Saw it first in college and loved it for over 50 years. Imagine: it's 600 years old! I have seen in another video how monks could paint small features: they used a small glass vial filled with water. It definitely works as a magnifying glass. The young man must have loved her very much. He looks so subdued.

informative , thank you!!

Several years ago, a female art critic brought up all these points and I believe she was the first to notice all the symbolism. I agree with this perspective.

Those blossoms look like fruit to me

I have always felt that The velvet chest on the far wall below the mirror, obscured by the subjects bodies, was a cradle for a baby. When I was a child, everyone said that she was not pregnant, it was just fashion as it was a wedding photo. Then I heard it was during times of plague so getting married pregnant would show fertility. Then I heard that she was pregnant and it was a family portrait. But I like your idea the most. It would also explain the cradle being partially hidden.

Does anyone else think he looks a bit like Putin?

Nog even dit over de kandelaar als men naar de armen kijkt zie je ook haken 🪝 weerhaken zal ik ze maar noemen dus iets waar het grote middenstuk oneens was, aangezien Arnolfini te grote hoed heeft ook voor die tijd kun je veronderstellen dat hij te groot werd in Zijn werken zakendoen waardoor hij teveel macht kreeg ,dus de te grote hoed 🎩 opgezet voor zijn doen , zodat ieder weet dat alleen Vaticaan en de koning het voor het zeggen hadden, dus Arnolfini was geen van adelijke afkomst maar één succesvolle zakenman die macht kon kopen en dat kon natuurlijk niet

I believe in the memorial theory as well. The details discussed match this theory, and I watched with interest, tough the cartoon interruptions were not to my liking. Thank you for the tutorial, anyway.

Brilliant painting and discourse. Thank you. ❤

Fascinating, thanks for sharing!

I believe this was a momento mori for the death of ArnolFini's wife in childbirth.

When you look at it at the British National Gallery, it's shocking how small it is. From the viewing point, it's impossible to see the details.

Excellent analysis! Thank you for posting.

very informative❤ nice👍

Infact the cover of "Use your Illusion 1 & 2 by Gun's n roses" was also taken by this picture...
