Three-dimensionality, presence, individuality and psychological depth

What happened?
For the first time, we find portraits that really look like us!
How can we explain such a paradigmatic shift in paintings?

Jan van Eyck
1. Flemish painter (b. before 1395, Maaseik, d. 1441, Bruges)
2. Biography: http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/eyck
Alice Y. Chang 11
Jan van Eyck. . .
Is the greatest artist of the early Netherlands school.
Had the outstanding skill as an oil painter
Invented the medium to allow for the preservation of the colors
built up layers of transparent glazes, captured objects in the minutest detail
Alice Y. Chang 12
Glaze
a transparent or translucent color applied to modify the effect of a painted surface
a smooth glossy or lustrous surface or finish
a glassy film
Alice Y. Chang 13
luminous clarity
He had an eye almost miraculously responsive to every detail or his world, not just in that he saw it, but that he understood its value.
he saw the most ordinary things with a wonderful sharpness and a great sense of their awesome beauty.

A Turning Point
From the late medieval arts (the Gothic arts) to the early Renaissance Arts/ Late Gothic and The Early Renaissance
Geographically, the Southern Europe (Italy) was going to take the place of artistic center.

A New Realism
fidelity in art and literature to nature or to real life and to accurate representation without idealizationPhoto-realism in painting characterized by extremely meticulous depiction of detail
Alice Y. Chang 29
Fidelity
when you copy the detail and quality of an original, such as a picture, sound or story exactly:
accuracy in describing or reporting facts or details

More notes/ conflicting viewpointsWedding? This work is not
intended as a record of their wedding./ As today, marriages in 15th-century Flanders could take place privately rather than in church.
Pregnant? His wife is not pregnant, as is often thought, but holding up her full-skirted dress in the contemporary fashion.

“Jan van Eyck was here 1434”The ornate Latin signature tra
nslates as 'Jan van Eyck was here 1434'.
The similarity to modern graffiti is not accidental.
Van Eyck often inscribed his pictures in a witty way.
Alice Y. Chang 45
What is inside the mirror?
The mirror reflects two figures in the doorway. One may be the painter himself. Arnolfini raises his right hand as he faces them, perhaps as a greeting.

at the dawn of the Renaissance.
When we consider the grand trajectory of Western painting, we see something very interesting taking place at the dawn of the Renaissance.

controversial theory:Artist used lenses and mirror to
project images onto canvases or similar surfaces and then trace and paint over the results.

camera obscura
Etymology: New Latin, literally, dark chamber
a darkened enclosure having an aperture usually provided with a lens through which light from external objects enters to form an image of the objects on the opposite surface
Alice Y. Chang 54
Camera obscura phtographic cameraA traditional lens-based camera ob
scura is a precursor of the modern photographic camera, but without film.
Mirror-based obscura at the time of van Eyke would have be the most sophisticated optical system!!!

Renaissance episteme
The four modes of resemblance are pretty straightforward: 1) convenience = spatial proximity, which relies upon and breeds resemblance; 2) emulation = resemblance at a distance; 3) analogy = resemblance of relation; man is center of world; 4) sympathy = resemblance provoking spatial and qualitative change.
Alice Y. Chang 78
Signature is the being of the Renaissance sign, a resemblance that is sign of, that indicates, points the way toward, another resemblance. Obviously here we have an infinite task of chasing resemblances around, which yields abundant, yet empty knowledge: since everything has a hidden resemblance to everything else, you can find (know) resemblances everywhere, but what do you find everywhere? Just another resemblance. The 16th C "condemned itself to never knowing anything but the same thing, and to knowing that thing only at the unattainable end of an endless journey."
Alice Y. Chang 79
2 Since resemblances spoke through signature
s that were parts of the world and were themselves resemblances, then science, magic, and erudition (reliance on ancient authorities), which are all forms of interpreting natural signs, are on an equal footing; this is not because of credulity, but because of the episteme.

aletheiaaletheia but Heidegger reads the original meaning a
s "unconcealment.“ If we translate aletheia as 'unconcealment'
rather than 'truth', this translation is not merely 'more literal'; it contains the directive to rethink the ordinary concept of truth in the sense of the correctness of statements and to think it back to that still uncomprehended disclosedness and disclosure of beings
