#7 It is the depiction of their wedding, wich happend to be in Brügge. A medieval onlooker would see a lot of information in the details:
- The dog stands for loyalty
- The glass windows and the peaches on the windowsill stand for wealth
- the weird wood shoes are called Trippe and saveguard its wearer before the feces on the streets.
- Its a marriage to the 'Left Hand' (her left in his right), means she is from lower social origin
- He raises his right hand for the marriage oath
- The weird Mirror is called 'Hexe' (witch) and if you look closely you will find two persons entring the room. One of them is the painter himself.
- The writing above says 'Jannis van Eyck fuit hic', means Jan van Eyck was here.
Conclusion: The Painting is merely a document of a marriage.

The Scream, Edvard Munch (1893)

While this painting doesn’t look haunting at first glance, it does, however, take on a different form when you discover that Edvard Munch captured his own raw emotions in the artwork. He painted the distraught figure and the menacing surroundings to convey what he felt when he heard an "infinite scream passing through nature" while taking a walk.
