Since I was having so much trouble getting the lights at the front of the class figured out today, I decided I would post an image of the painting we talked about in class here. Here can get a closer look at everything in the picture. See if there's anything else that we missed the strengthens our reading of this work.
Jan van Eyck
The Arnolfini Wedding
1434 CE
Just a few things that we didn't talk about in class.
ReplyDelete*In this picture you can tell that they are both wearing fur around their neck and sleeves.
*You can see her red shoes in the back.
*You can also see the woodwork on the frame of the sofa and headboard in the back. One appears to be of a woman praying, one of an animal and one of a man or monster (same thing, just kidding)
*There's a fruit tree outside the window.
Nice job. There are a couple of things you mentioned that I've never noticed myself.
