The convex mirror reminds me of the fisheye lense HYPE WILLIAMS used in the iconic videos he directed for Missy Elliott, Diffusion, Janet Jackson, Busta Rhymes etc As someone interested in animism, neo-materialism, object oriented ontology, it is fascinating to objects make their way through time and through space: From a 1434 painting, to 1848 paintings and living rooms, to 1990's music videos. This is central to my reflections on capitalism, desire, identity and consumerism.
Not to mention Van Eyck and other dutch masters like Vermeer actually used the convex mirror and other devices such as the camera obscura to actually project the image and paint it to make it looks so perfect.
There’s no evidence of Van Eyck using a camera obscura? People have found visible pin holes in his paintings suggesting that he used orthogonals and linear perspective to achieve perfect proportions
This video is an introduction an exhibition , so it is short, to entice you to go to said exhibition, if you want longer videos, watch longer videos, your comment is supremely stupid
Beautiful soft voices help the brain absorb information so much easier...Thank you

Through centuries and different communities, the fascination and appeal for the convex mirror effect remains the same.
What a great exhibition it would have been. Love trying to figure out the image in mirror...
Fascinating exposition of artistic influence over the course of four centuries.
Great video
너무 도움됩니다 thanks a lot

Exactly
Van Eyck would not have had a camera obscura. It hadn't been invented yet. He would have had other optical and magnification tools though

Typically of the National Gallery it assumes I'm so stupid I can't concentrate on a subject for more than 4 minutes.
I agree, I wish these videos were longer.
Little nuggets of gold.

Actually, not at all typical of National Gallery videos, as they are normally 30 min or 1 hour talks.
