Jan van Eyck made some stunningly beautiful paintings. This is one of his very best. It is small, only 93 X 37 cm, but filled wit brilliant details.
I have wanted to make a video about this one for ages, but couldn't find an image with a high enough resolution to show you all the details, but now I found one, so here it is.
I will take you through the entire painting and show you all of it and unlock all the mysteries behind this iconic painting.

You can have this masterpiece all to yourself in its little corner at the national gallery while everybody crowds around the DaVinci, the Rembrandt, the Van Gogh.
If you’re ever in DC…
Beautiful blue. Is that made of Lapis Lazuli? Amazing those little details of the drawings in the tiles. What’s the size of the painting? Really amazing. Thank you for elucidating this painting to us.
Yes it is lapis lazuli, I think, the painting is 93 X 37 cm. so quite small.
Thank'YOU Carel❣️👍
You are so welcome
Another brilliant video - i really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Wonderful!
Your commentary and analysis really did this amazing painting justice - well done, Carel, and thank you. I'm enjoying these videos a great deal!!
Thank you so much!
It is only at the very end that I realized that the gold border on Mary's dress has tiny parallel scratches in the darker areas. Such a tiny little detail, but it gives a really unique texture. Brilliant work.
Everyone should watch this on a big screen! It is a treat for the eyes! Thank you so much for your excellent work!
Thanks for the explanation. When I was in Florence a few years ago, I became fascinated by the many paintings of The Annunciation. There’s so much detail and symbolism in this one, as well as the artist’s amazing talent and technique.
Lovely video. Thank you!
Thank you too!
Thank you so much for your videos!!
another great video👍
I love your videos! Could you tell me what the artist is wearing on his head near the beginning of this video. Is it a type of turban?
It is called a Chaperon. It is a type of hat that developed into having long flaps, that were then bound up around it, making it look a lot like a turban. they were the hight of fashion in the 1430's although I think Van Eyck made his version more complicated than usual to show off his skill
Thank You!

Thank you so much! It really helps to keep the channel going!
I love the symbology - as a modern Catastrophist I have my own reading though:
The pillar that Samson is breaking / tumbling over, is the axis of the Earth. (Earth crust displacement theories.)
The Mill that Samson is turning, is the axis of the Earth. (Read “Hamlet’s Mill”)
The word Samson is a diminutive of Sun (little Sun). The long hair (as well as the lions mane) are symbols for an active sun (CME), when the hair is cut (or the Lion brought down), the sun is weak, and the mill will be turned / the world turning on its axis without disruption. But when the hair grows back (=active sun), the pillar is tumbled, the house comes crashing down and killing the people. (That’s the catastrophe).
The whole thing about the sacrifice of the first born, is the lost civilization (Graham Hancock; Atlantis etc). Death and Resurrection are death and resurrection of human civilization itself.
Whenever you see staffs at an angle of 23.5 degrees: that’s always the axis of the Earth. (See the Angel’s staff). The Ancient’s thought of the catastrophe as reoccurring on the long calendar around twice per Great Year (= see Precession of the Equinoxes; read Hamlet’s Mill, Watch Graham Hancock’s talks) as flood (Cataclysmos) and burning of the world (Ekpyrosis; Weltenbrand). (Also watch Randall Carlson on the meaning of Halloween / The Days of the Dead). Symbols like these are in every culture and religion of the world, and their meaning is all forgotten, but can be rediscovered, if you know what you are looking for.
By the way: the whole John the Baptist preceding Christ by six Months is astronomical symbolism as well: one is the summer solstice, the other the winter solstice (- we literally replay the big fire every year on the longest day of the year; and the re-erection of the tree (=Axis) multiple times per year: the Christmas tree, the Tree that is the Cross; all the May Trees and Trees at Church fairs: the axis gets stolen / taken down and must be re-erected.)
