In todays class, we discussed the affect of changing mediums, from tempura based painting to oil painting which started to gain popularity in\u00a0 the Netherlands with artists like Jon Van Eyck who was something of a special artist. He was rumored to have invented oil paint however this is not true, but this show his masterful skill in the medium. As the excellent painter he was he was also part of the the court and was sent on missions by the duke of burgundy to look for a wife for him, among other things.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oil painting gave the painter more Tim etc work on the piece as it was slow drying. This allowed for immense detail. The paint also gave a more layered apparent with more vivid color compared to tempura. With more time to work on more detail in painting, symbolism in these paintings was disguised. This is somethings I found rally fun to think about, as it seemed artists where competing with each other to find more cleaver ways of disguising symbolism within their paintings.\u00a0 In line with a similar idea is thinking about how the artist is including themself in their paintings as well. An example of this is jan van Eyck including what is though to be his reflection in a mirror. It has a very where\u2019s Waldo-esque feeling about that\u2019s very playful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
