“The mirror is a good judge for you to know. It is marvelous how every weakness in a painting is so manifestly deformed in the Mirror” Leon Battista Alberti (c1404 – 1472) – a Renaissance humanist author, artist, architect, poet, priest, linguist, philosopher and cryptographer; he epitomized the Renaissance Man.
As some of you well know, I second this idea … I don’t think I ever leave my studio without looking at my work in a mirror. It’s so effective because it forces a different view – the brain has to recognize and see the image all over again. Try it!
