Résumé

TLDREste video presenta un análisis de dos retratos de artistas renacentistas, explorando cómo cada uno captura la esencia de sus sujetos y cómo estos se presentan al mundo. Se abordan los objetivos del retrato: la memorialización y la representación del individuo. El retrato femenino, de Roger van der Weyden, refleja cualidades como timidez y elegancia, mientras que el autorretrato de Jan van Eyck exhibe confianza y profundidad. Se examinan elementos formales, como la composición y el uso del color, y cómo estos influyen en la percepción del carácter del sujeto. También se discute la diferencia en el tratamiento de la belleza entre géneros y el impacto de los medios, especialmente la pintura al óleo, en la representación de los detalles.

  • 00:00:02
    these images show two artists that we've
  • 00:00:04
    studied in the past on the left is Yan
  • 00:00:07
    vanik we studied his very detailed gent
  • 00:00:09
    alter piece and on the right is Roger
  • 00:00:12
    Vander wien uh we studied his deposition
  • 00:00:16
    is very theatrical deposition but we
  • 00:00:18
    want to look at these two Works um
  • 00:00:20
    because they are portraiture U
  • 00:00:23
    portraiture has really two goals number
  • 00:00:26
    one is to remember to memorialize to
  • 00:00:29
    commit memorate a particular individual
  • 00:00:31
    so you want to get the likeness of that
  • 00:00:34
    particular person but the second reason
  • 00:00:36
    for a portrait is to portray yourself in
  • 00:00:39
    a certain light um tell a certain story
  • 00:00:43
    about that particular individual how
  • 00:00:45
    they are sort of selling themselves to
  • 00:00:47
    the world and this is true in the 15th
  • 00:00:49
    century and it's certainly still true
  • 00:00:51
    today when you look at portraits or
  • 00:00:53
    pictures that you take um you are
  • 00:00:55
    capturing the likeness or remembering a
  • 00:00:58
    p a person or an event um but you can
  • 00:01:00
    also look at that portrait of someone
  • 00:01:03
    and tell a lot about their personality
  • 00:01:05
    and how they want the world um to see
  • 00:01:07
    them and view them um so let's look at
  • 00:01:10
    these two works of art um for how
  • 00:01:13
    exactly these individuals want to be
  • 00:01:14
    seen by the world and also the
  • 00:01:16
    difference between um the way women are
  • 00:01:19
    viewed and shown then their particular
  • 00:01:22
    personality traits that are brought
  • 00:01:23
    forth and and how that's different from
  • 00:01:25
    men all right let's look here on the
  • 00:01:27
    right hand side Roger vander's portrait
  • 00:01:29
    of a lady
  • 00:01:30
    um her identity is unknown but her
  • 00:01:32
    clothing reveals her status in society
  • 00:01:35
    of a noble rank a welltoo uh Flemish
  • 00:01:39
    family let's talk personality that
  • 00:01:42
    second part the second goal of
  • 00:01:43
    portraiture um she has clasped hands in
  • 00:01:46
    her portrait very tight sort of pursed
  • 00:01:49
    lips lower eyes um some personality
  • 00:01:54
    traits with the sort of story that this
  • 00:01:55
    portrait tells of a woman who is seen as
  • 00:01:58
    sort of shy maybe de pure
  • 00:02:01
    reserved Pious um elegant detached um we
  • 00:02:07
    can see all of that there and one thing
  • 00:02:08
    that I want to see also is that it's not
  • 00:02:11
    just the things that we see with the eye
  • 00:02:13
    like oh clasped hands probably mean that
  • 00:02:14
    she's devout or Pious she's could be in
  • 00:02:16
    prayer um shy demure um feminine
  • 00:02:20
    qualities like her downcast to eyes were
  • 00:02:22
    important at the time we can sort of see
  • 00:02:24
    that with the eye but I want to talk
  • 00:02:25
    about also the things that you may not
  • 00:02:27
    be aware of that are still working on
  • 00:02:29
    you this image and that is the formal
  • 00:02:32
    elements that the artist chooses the
  • 00:02:35
    formal elements in a painting are things
  • 00:02:38
    like the line the color the shape um how
  • 00:02:43
    it is designed or composed a composition
  • 00:02:45
    is also a formal element the artist has
  • 00:02:48
    to make all of these decisions about
  • 00:02:50
    those formal qualities what color what
  • 00:02:52
    kind of line what kind of light what
  • 00:02:53
    kind of composition to best portray a
  • 00:02:56
    particular meaning to the work and the
  • 00:02:58
    meaning is the content so the formal
  • 00:03:00
    elements are line shape and color and
  • 00:03:02
    that but the content is sort of the
  • 00:03:03
    meaning or the feeling that you get out
  • 00:03:05
    of the work so let's see how these kind
  • 00:03:07
    of come together um one thing I want you
  • 00:03:09
    to see is how the composition remember
  • 00:03:12
    that's how it is laid out sort of left
  • 00:03:13
    to right and top to bottom is very
  • 00:03:15
    balanced and very calm and very stable
  • 00:03:18
    so you see this sort of triangle that
  • 00:03:19
    comes up like this and comes down and
  • 00:03:21
    then the white down here creates sort of
  • 00:03:23
    a counterbalance to that and then her
  • 00:03:25
    face is placed like right in the center
  • 00:03:27
    so it's very sort of symmetrical that
  • 00:03:29
    means if you come down to the center the
  • 00:03:32
    left and right are nicely sort of
  • 00:03:34
    weighted this gives us a calm sort of
  • 00:03:38
    subdued feeling about the painting and
  • 00:03:39
    that's exactly what the sitter wants us
  • 00:03:41
    to see in this particular woman we
  • 00:03:43
    talked about composition with Dirk bouts
  • 00:03:45
    and and that sort of calming symmetrical
  • 00:03:47
    balance as well another way to think
  • 00:03:49
    about this is if you took her let's make
  • 00:03:52
    some changes in our mind let's say we
  • 00:03:53
    pushed her off to one side so that all
  • 00:03:55
    the weight was on this side but then her
  • 00:03:57
    glance was up here towards this side and
  • 00:04:00
    we changed the color not these calm
  • 00:04:01
    subdued colors but a lot sort of
  • 00:04:03
    brighter sort of intense color and then
  • 00:04:05
    same with the lighting really harsh
  • 00:04:07
    lighting maybe a you know Spotlight just
  • 00:04:10
    on her forehead and the rest being very
  • 00:04:11
    black um that would sort of change how
  • 00:04:15
    you view this woman um so those formal
  • 00:04:18
    elements have to be taken into account
  • 00:04:19
    and the one that comes out most readily
  • 00:04:21
    in this is that composition very calm
  • 00:04:22
    balanced and stable and so then we also
  • 00:04:24
    see her as likewise calm balanced and
  • 00:04:26
    stable and then you add to that downcast
  • 00:04:28
    eyes and clasped hands and you see seal
  • 00:04:29
    the deal um is really sort of knowing
  • 00:04:32
    something about how this woman wants to
  • 00:04:34
    be seen by the world in her portrait
  • 00:04:36
    let's look at our image by yon bik he's
  • 00:04:39
    called The Man in the red turban um the
  • 00:04:41
    the frame um is signed it says as
  • 00:04:47
    I some believe either it's him signing
  • 00:04:49
    the work or it could be a portrait a
  • 00:04:52
    self-portrait of of the artist himself
  • 00:04:54
    he's very different from our female view
  • 00:04:58
    um he straight out at the viewer sort of
  • 00:05:02
    this unflinching Gaze on like the female
  • 00:05:04
    version um where she puts her eyes down
  • 00:05:07
    he sort of is a little bit more emphatic
  • 00:05:09
    in the fact that he sort of confronts us
  • 00:05:11
    it gives us a different feeling that
  • 00:05:13
    second part of portraiture that story
  • 00:05:14
    that he's selling is very confident and
  • 00:05:16
    very secure confident in his stature in
  • 00:05:19
    society another thing to notice is the
  • 00:05:22
    amount of detail while our female
  • 00:05:25
    version is very sort of um is sort of
  • 00:05:27
    whitewashed a little bit more generic
  • 00:05:29
    you don't see every little flaw in our
  • 00:05:32
    version of yan vanik you get every
  • 00:05:34
    single line around his C crows feed that
  • 00:05:36
    he's got here um that sort of idea of
  • 00:05:39
    Age and and wisdom looking this close um
  • 00:05:45
    also reminds us too of the uh importance
  • 00:05:47
    of oil paint um you can see if you could
  • 00:05:51
    zoom in even more a reflection of the
  • 00:05:53
    artist studio in his eyeball that's the
  • 00:05:56
    kind of detail a minute fine level of
  • 00:05:58
    detail you wouldn't get get with another
  • 00:06:00
    medium um also in his beard you can see
  • 00:06:04
    every little hair that sort of comes out
  • 00:06:05
    of his chin here another use of oil
  • 00:06:08
    paint great use of oil paint is um the
  • 00:06:12
    veil that you see here how you can see
  • 00:06:13
    right through it to her forehead that's
  • 00:06:15
    a use of glazing we talked about that
  • 00:06:17
    use of glaze the sort of sheer effect
  • 00:06:20
    without real deep pigment shows that
  • 00:06:23
    versatility um a deep dark opaque color
  • 00:06:26
    to that sort of veiled effect um again
  • 00:06:29
    she has a very different standard of
  • 00:06:30
    beauty when we look at the image of
  • 00:06:32
    Beyond bik every little flaw is sort of
  • 00:06:34
    shown we see his sort of age that comes
  • 00:06:36
    out um and his sort of forthrightness um
  • 00:06:39
    she is um very much part of the sort of
  • 00:06:44
    style of the day um it was popular for
  • 00:06:46
    women at the time to pluck their
  • 00:06:47
    forehead a very high forehead sort of
  • 00:06:49
    Regal so we see of course that here as
  • 00:06:51
    well so different sort of level of
  • 00:06:53
    beauty and importance and that sort of
  • 00:06:54
    grooming compared to yon Ben here um so
  • 00:06:57
    the importance of this again the roles
  • 00:06:59
    of portraiture um and then uh also the
  • 00:07:03
    great use of oil paint and seeing the
  • 00:07:05
    the possibilities of that Medium as well
