One candle was lit out of four, and one orange was moved up out of four. Women of that time (even today) hold up their dresses when moving to not step on them, and i assume she’s leaving. Everything is facing the left of the paint toward the window besides the dog and the man: Her, the candle flame, the shoes, the one orange, even the gargoyles in the background. Maybe she’s passing away, or she’s knows she’s going to die? Very symbolic piece.

The amount of intricate, tiny, almost unnoticeable but somehow HUGE details that go into famous paintings like this BAFFLES ME. When I was younger, (and stupider), I used to always visit the same art Museum with my mother and grandad. We saw the same paintings every time. I never appreciated it because I'd seen paintings before on the internet, ones that I thought were "cooler because colors". Now that I know more about WHY these paintings are/were so famous, I can't help but really just stare and appreciate every single minor detail. It truly is so, incredibly creative and, literally, a MASTERPIECE.
Safe to say that now I know why all the people in that museum just stood and stared for hours at each painting. That's me today 😂

Many don't realize the genius of Van Eyck. Thus was made in 1434, this is insanely pretty for that time. Also, for the painting, if I recall correctly it's a weird scene. It's a renewing of wedding vows. The men in the door are two witnesses, van Eyck being one (above the mirror is also "Jan Van Eyck was here" written. Also a witness thing. The woman is dead. The man is wearing black for that reason. It's essentially a sort of re-declaration of love to a dead wife. For as far as I'm aware that's the most likely explanation. Still kinda eerie.

In my Art History; Renaissance class theres another clue you forgot to mention, in the mirror you can see that they are not holding hands at all which further suggest that the wife is dead.
Edit: I just looked at it again and yes they are holding hands! When we were discussing it in class so many theories was thrown around that I didn’t get to fact check them all. This was one of them. The origin of the theory that they are not holding hands is because their hands are very VERY faintly painted that its almost impossible to see unless you are really looking for it. You can see the brides arms but her hands are super faint like translucent. It also doesn’t help that Van Eyck’s clothes in the mirror is the same color as the brides arms.

Who cares about the symbolism , guy painted a whole reflection of the room in that mirror and also painted every scene with the saints and stuff in those tiny circles around the mirror 😱 And you can almost feel the texture of their clothes just by looking at them! That's a demonstration of true skil

Thanks for bringing these wonderful art pieces to the public. This is the one best use for YouTube In my opinion. Art is the expression of the common man, where he can include the veiled truth in protest and convey dissatisfaction with the powers that be. It’s really becoming no different now.
