The only reason i know the answer is because she mentioned the name of the dog and the name of bride and groom but the one that she didn't mention is the name of the artist i am so smart arn't I.
says the dude w/ spartan in his name...who got ina giant horse named the trojan horse...which was later the term for a bad virus!!! >:( j/p :D (and dont argue w/ me about who got in the horse)
I think the lady isn't pregnant. at that time (like british ladies nowadays all seem to have beer bellies) is was very common for women to have that size of a tummy.
the two figures in the mirror indicate that it actually is a marriage picture, because it was common to be wedded at home, without a priest and only accompanied by 2 witnesses.
ur right, the lady isnt pregnant. but thats not a beer belly. lik the girl said, the arnolfini family was really rich and wanted to show it off. the dreww is actually made of a very heavy velvet and she's holding it up in front of her. thats all. XP u can even see the wrinkles where the material is gathered in front. plus at the time it was considered hot to look a little pregnant. XP
Every once in the internet surprises me. You really went deep and obviously have spent a long time on your site, and 'everything' connected. Great job.
I hate to be a know-it-all, but...I'm embarassed to admit... that won't stop me.
It actually says "Johannes de eyck fiut hir" or *Jan van Eyck was here* and the date is the date of the wedding.
Most believe he was witness and this served as legal documentation of the marriage sort of how the best-man & maid-of-honor sign a wedding certificate today.
But, the analogies you drew hold up nicely as well.
The Dog's name is Fido. Which stands for fidelity or faithful in English - since they are getting married - that wasn't just some random dog in the picture...
Wow- You're amazing - I love your ideas! I suck. I'm a pretty good artist; I just need some ideas. And you are really cute too, that's why I'm writing this crap!
ahm... that's the prize? ... c'mon, any art student can answer that lol... in portugal we spend at least a 2 hour class talking about this... in 10th grade...
There's nothing better than an intelligent and creative beautiful woman. I'm tired of these gum chewing, text messaging, uneducated bimbos. Though I would never get tired of them, but here I am.
This is great. Especially for young people who are interested in learning. Presented in a fun way. You should have a series on PBS. Best of luck to you.
i liked it it was really cute and a grate idea i dont color much but i liked the idea i would have loved it when i was i little kid but i thought it was still vary cute
You ROCK Val! I love your colouring book, and I downloaded it for my 4 year old niece. I will try to let you know how she likes it. You also have the cutest accent I've ever heard!
Actually, given the obvious pregnancy of the Lady in the portrait there is a very good argument that it was painted in memory of her, hence the husband's glum expression. Odds on she died in childbirth.
no, that paint was a certificate of marriage sent to the father of the lady that is portrayed.the portrayed was sent along with a letter. In that time in europe people didnt get marry like we do today, they only had to proclaime themselves married. She is not pregnant, the dress makes her look like that. The artist is not just the painter but a witness also. I studied that painting in art class.
There are a series of alternative theories about this painting, it isn't as open and shut as you may have been told. As to the dress "making her look pregnant", I am surprised anyone accepts that; her stomach is projecting out. Furthermore, why is the man so very sad looking ? There are depths here, and the history of the painting is under serious reconsideration atm. Documents regarding the individuals depicted have surfaced.

OMG! I had to sit and listen to your video, which I could hardly understand. Then I go to another freaking video, full of more crap I don't care about, only to be directed to a third mother f'ing video that tells me I have to go to a whole other website just to find out the prize is a flipping coloring book?!?! I will not watch another one of your videos until you A)learn to speak better English, and B)you start offering iPod's for wasting my time. You owe me 10 minutes of my life back......
Ahhh...poor thing. Now look what you've done foreign girl! You've hurt derekanddrew23's feelings with your accent and your attempt at educating him. Be more gentle next time!
Hey that's pretty cool! I thought it was going to be something lame like "You won a congradulatory pat on the back! Now reach around, and give yourself the comfort," but itwas actually a prize! I'm an Artist myself and that is really clever, good job! -Goes off to colour.-
