43. Alice Y. Chang43 More notes/ conflicting viewpoints Wedding? 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.

44. Alice Y. Chang44 “Jan van Eyck was here 1434” The ornate Latin signature translates 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.

45. Alice Y. Chang45 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.

47. Alice Y. Chang47 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.

48. Alice Y. Chang48 Schematic style  photographic realism Before roughly 1425, most images were rather stylized, even schematic, but afterward we see paintings that have an almost photographic realism.

49. Alice Y. Chang49 Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and His Wife Three dimensionality Presence Individuality and psychological depth “Portraits really look like us!”

50. Alice Y. Chang50 New Art/ ars nova David Hockey’s bold and controversial theory: Artist used lenses and mirror to project images onto canvases or similar surfaces and then trace and paint over the results.

51. Alice Y. Chang51 Photographically? Literally, Metaphorically,

52. Alice Y. Chang52 David Hockney’s Theory Secret Knowledge: Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of Old Masters Mirror projection/ camera obscura

53. Alice Y. Chang53 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

54. Alice Y. Chang54 Camera obscura  phtographic camera A traditional lens-based camera obscura 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!!!

57. Alice Y. Chang57 Too “photographically?” His painting is photographically capturing the real world. Literal or metaphorical meanings? 神似與形似

58. Alice Y. Chang58 Why? The technological factors Flat tempora painting of medieval art  oil painting Linear perspective Mathematical system/ projective geometry anatomy

59. Alice Y. Chang59 Cultural and economical factors Secularism or humanism The increase in patronage Growing prevalence of spectacles

77. Alice Y. Chang77 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.

78. Alice Y. Chang78 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."

79. Alice Y. Chang79 2 Since resemblances spoke through signatures 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. Classical Age

80. Alice Y. Chang80 Middle Ages  the Renaissance The age of faith  the age of reason God-centered  man-centered The age of wonder  the age of science C.S. Lewis: the bookish world  the rational world M. Foucault: the European ration from the Renaissance to our own age

89. Alice Y. Chang89 aletheia but Heidegger reads the original meaning as "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
