I am now moving on to looking at reflective space and how
reflective materials such as mirrors can alter a space. Mirrors can make a
space open, it can double the size of a certain area. It can allow objects to
enter it and exit it which I find very interesting.
One of the most famous mirrors in art is Jan van Eyck - Arnolfini's Wedding.
I found this painting very exciting as it gives the viewer a slight insight to
what was happening outside the painting. If you look very closely, you can see
the painter in the mirror.
Another example of this type of work from the renaissance era
is Diego Velázquez-Las Meninas. Here Velázquez also depicts himself in the
painting through mirrors.
