Random Picture Thread Vers.4

Another old classic

 

AJ was lucky to get out of that.

 

was he - i can't see the sand castle or the narrow boat in this one?

 

lovely though this is, i can't see it fetching £12K

 

Is that a selfie of the artist in the mirror?

 

Its the artist, Jan van Eyck, dated 1434.

 

I didn't realise that that portrait contained such intricate images, incredible

 

It's not a huge picture either: 82 cm high by 60 cm wide. The mirror on the back wall is only about 5" wide on the canvas yet it's a detailed picture within a picture. The brush used must have been just a single hair.

 

Selfie...

I once watched an amazing documentary which went through all the details of that painting and another similar one.

 

Chicken Market Bridge, built 1628 by Dutch East India Company in Batavia (Jakarta).

 

Ouch

 

Heart-breaking for somebody.

 

Bath night?

 

I hope they used Dove soap as it looks as if they had very dry skin

 

Thanks, I watched this last night... Culture init...
