| | Art and Optics : David G. Stork: Focal lengths |
 | | Recall that the Arnolfini portrait depicts a convex mirror. | | | In short, the evidence given by the image reflected by the convex mirror depicted in the Arnolfini portrait does not support the use of a concave mirror in the rendering of the painting without some ad-hoc and arbitrary claims (such as the mirror was visible, but van Eyck decided not to paint it). | | | Using standard techniques based on assumptions of the size of Arnolfini, his wife, the distance to the rear wall, and measurements of their sizes of the images shown in the famous convex mirror depicted within the painting, I estimated the focal length of that convex mirror to be about 12 cm. |

| | Whether this is a wedding portrait or not it is important to see the painting in the context of the social and institutional attitudes towards marriage. | | | Compare the Arnolfini bedchamber to that belonging to the wife of a merchant described by Christine de Pizan in her Livre de la trois vertus. | | | For Giovanni Arnolfini marrying into such a prominent family as the Cenamis was undoubtedly a significant boost to his financial fortunes. |

| | Of course, the van Eyck double portrait is in The National Gallery in London. | | | On another panel, possibly even a companion panel to the Arnolfini portrait, van Eyck may have painted a nude woman—and she could be the same woman who stands so demurely for her wedding portrait. | | | The portrait, she argues in proper critical jargon, "interweaves the discourses of social practice and painted imagery." van Eyck worked "for a private patron. |

| | Jan Van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait |
| | Regarding the Arnolfini Portrait, this site was very useful to me, specifically due to the realization about the identity of the sitters, but also for current information on other symbolic aspects of the painting, such as the convex mirror in the back of the painting. | | | This site is a beautiful read for anyone interested in the Arnolfini Portrait, and is quite the touching story of a young woman accomplishing her dreams as well. | | | She speaks of how van Eyck, in a sense, by putting a mirror in the painting reflecting himself (or so it is assumed), is making a statement not only about the painted, but the paintER as well. |

| | Van Eyck's art reached perhaps its greatest triumph in the painting of portraits. | | | This title has traditionally been given to this painting because it was thought to be a form of ``wedding certificate'' for Giovanni Arnolfini and Giovanna Cenami, who married in Bruges in 1434. | | | Probably the painter was asked to record this important moment as a witness, just as a notary might be asked to declare that he has been present at a similar solemn act. |

| | The Arnolfini Portrait, Las Meninas, and A Bar at the Folies-Bergère are separated by centuries, and consequently, they differ in subject matter, in style, and in the techniques employed by the artists. | | | The mirror in The Arnolfini Portrait is thus the looking glass one would expect to find in many wealthy homes. | | | Velázquez, too, invites the viewer into the extended picture space, but only to stand to the side of those reflected in the mirror, and the scene is no longer as legible as was the betrothal in The Arnolfini Portrait. |

| | A picture worth many thousand words |
| | Jan van Eyck's Arnolfini Double Portrait, painted in 1434, has been on Art History professor Craig Harbison's mind for more than a quarter of a century. | | | When Harbison was nearing tenure, he began to look beyond Panofsky's approach to criticism in general and to the Arnolfini portrait in particular. | | | Panofsky, who worked at the nearby Institute for Advanced Studies and volunteered his time to Princeton graduate students, taught an approach to art history in which one discovered the meaning of a work of art by examining its details for their symbolic content. |

| | This is more evident in his drawings than in his paintings because, as we all agree, Leonardo's legacy in paint is not what it could have been. | | | That master's portrait of Balthasar Castiglione is so far in advance of Leonardo as to suggest that they were separated by centuries rather than a difference of only thirty years. | | | Reading history tells us that Leonardo never saw the Arnolfini portrait, nor was he likely to be intimate with the Netherlandish working methods. |

| | The Arnolfini double portrait is Van Eyck's quintessential work and a striking example of how art and its meaning endure and engage us for centuries. | | | Commonly known as the "Arnolfi Wedding" or "Giovanni Arnolfi and His Bride", Jan van Eyck's double portrait in the National Gallery, London, painted in 1434, is probably the most widely recognized panel painting of the fifteenth century. | | | One of the great masterpieces of early Flemish art, this enigmatic picture has also aroused intense speculation as to its precise meaning. |
