Peer’s thought: Arnolfini portrait by Jan Van Eyck was comissioned by Giovanni Arnolfini in 1434 and it portrays him and his bride in the domestic setting of their bedroom. In the foreground of the composition, curved and vertical lines define the two figures who together take up about two thirds of the space in the painting. Inplied lines separate the female figure’s delicate hand that rests in the male figure’s hand in the center of the composition. Behind them vertical and horizontal lines define the couples bedroom furnishings while vertical lines of the wooden planks on the floor recedes in space parallel to a patterned area rug that is under the bed. At the couples feet a miniature dog with dark shaggy fur stands attentive at the center of the bottom. On the wall, a circular mirror with a star shaped frame reflects the couple in their bedroom and light from the window. Light from the window reflects off the ornate chandelier revealing its Corinthian style and its metallic surface. The clothing on the woman takes up more space on the bottom than the top which defines her delicate frame. The drapery of her gown overflows into a pile on the floor. Her gown is a dark green and contrast with the red upolstry of the furnishings which brings her to the focal point. The white veil emphasizes her auburn hair and blushing cheeks. Opposite of her the male figure is in a dark heavy cloak and black hat that is almost lost in the shadowy corner of the room. The length of his cloak isn’t as long as the womans gown and reveals his ankles in the shadow his figure casts. There is a wood grain texture in the floor and the white trim of the green gown has the texture of fur. There is a definate feeling of depth in the room by the use of light and shadow. The colors are rich and limited but well balanced which gives this portrait an overall feeling of unity. 2-2. Peer’s thought: I chose to analyze the painting Rogier van der Weyden, Deposition Which depicts the scene of the taking of Jesus from the cross after his death. The artist used several methods to convey in a very realistic way, the event that happened. He did this with the help of perspective and the help of placing the characters in a way that makes the painting three-dimensional, and thus one can almost feel the characters.There are uses for curved lines, and this can be seen in the characters that, with the help of these lines, they look human. The vertical and horizontal lines are used to create the cross on which Jesus was hung, as well as the ladder with which he was lowered. Also, in the back wall, you can see a vertical line with the help of which a proportion is obtained, and you can describe the size of the place where the scene takes place. The artist used a variety of primary and secondary colors in the costumes of the characters and their bodies. Blue, red, and white are the prominent colors in work.There is also a gray hue that can be seen on the body of Jesus, and the cold color emphasizes that Jesus is lifeless. The use of warmer colors is meant to highlight the characters humanly. You can recognize that Jesus is the main character with the help of his position in the middle of the painting, his colors are bright in relation to the other figures, and with the help of that, he is more prominent than them. His body is exposed, and he includes the human body in its entirety, which emphasizes humanity in the painting. In addition, the artist was able to convey the emotions of the characters following his death. Sadness and pain can be seen in all the characters and especially in his mother, who was upset she could not bear herself and fell to the floor. All present in work conveys the same message of sorrow and pain, and this is done with the help of symmetries and coordinated proportions which emphasize the situation. The main emphasis of this work is realism. I feel that with the help of the little details such as the folds in the characters’ clothes, their body color, and their facial expressions, the painting becomes human, you can identify and connect with it and understand the feelings that were in the scene that takes place there.
