Picasso’s Girl Before A Mirror

The Venus effect is a phenomenon in the psychology of perception, named after various paintings of Venus gazing into a mirror, such as Diego Velázquez’s Rokeby Venus, Titian’s Venus with a mirror, and Veronese’s Venus with a mirror. Viewers of such paintings assume that Venus is admiring her own reflection in the mirror; however, since the viewer sees her face in the mirror, Venus is actually looking at the reflection of the painter.

Jan Van Eyck 1434: Arnolfini Marriage Mirror Detail (by okoyono33)

The mirror of “The Arnolfini Marriage” depicts in surprising detail, a convex mirror reflecting the scene from behind as well as a glimpse of the goings-on BEHIND the point-of-view of the viewer (us).

The circle-shapes surrounding the mirror depict ten scenes from the Passion, again in surprising detail.

It is said that Van Eyck used a brush containing a single hair to paint some of the details on the mirror.
