Do you know that the first oil painting in history was a newly married couple who got married with their children, but it unexpectedly became a famous painting through the ages?

1826 photography technology was invented successfully. Since then, many special and precious pictures have been quickly and conveniently preserved by taking pictures. Before the invention of photography technology, the recording of pictures and video clips was mainly based on painting. Portrait can not only remember many memories, but also make painting show a variety of artistic possibilities.

In our inherent concept, if we go back to the past, we will inevitably give it a conservative and outdated inherent concept. But in fact, if we carefully study the records of the past history, we will unexpectedly find that the ancients in the past were even more open than now. For example, this portrait of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Fini, created in 1434, has a profound interpretation of the scene described and the meaning behind it.

This oil painting is set in the Netherlands at that time. It mainly depicts a newly-married family, and depicts the portrait of a couple in a very realistic and delicate way. The author makes the appearance of the couple quite exquisite, and at the same time shows the personality characteristics of the task incisively and vividly through details. From this woman's actions, we can see that she is pregnant. It can be inferred that the two newlyweds should be married by a child, and the author not only has superb painting skills for the characters themselves, but also is very skilled in describing the environment and background objects. All this shows the artist's talent.

The creator of this painting is Jan Van Eyck, who was born in 1385. Yang Van Eyck is also known as the "father of oil painting" because he creatively used oil blending as a painting tool to assist the completion of painting, which played a very key role in promoting the formation of oil painting. Arnold Finn, the prototype of the characters in his Portrait of the Arnold Finns, did exist in history and was knighted in 1420.

We study this work because the ancients were more open and bold than the modern people, mainly because the woman in the painting was obviously bloated and seemed to be pregnant. The woman wears a white silk scarf on her head, which symbolizes chastity. This combination makes people wonder whether it is a "photo of a child getting married". If this is the case, it would be unthinkable under the background of serious religious and moral oppression at that time.

Then according to this idea, some experts suggested that the atmosphere 500 years ago was not as closed as we thought, and it might be more open than modern times. This statement was quickly overturned, and the reason why the woman in the painting was bloated was the symbol of the clothing of the rich at that time, not pregnancy. The gesture of the man in the painting has the meaning of dedicating himself to love, while the gesture interaction between the woman and the man is to express her trust and faithful love for her husband.

The interpretation of this artistic painting is not over yet. This portrait of the Anofini couple mainly shows the indoor scene, in which the object placement, direction design and even corner depiction are symbolic and can be interpreted in many ways from any angle. Anyway, the portrait of Mr. and Mrs. Anofini is just a15th century oil painting.

The current guess is just to understand the different results. What this painting hides is that different people have different opinions. The artistry of painting should not stop there. The author's ingenious painting skills, the reasons for creating this painting and the pioneering influence of Yang Van Eyck on portrait painting are also worthy of our serious consideration. However, some netizens still think that this painting will feel uncomfortable after looking at it for a long time, probably because the colors and characters are too realistic.
