Culture Notes
• Lucas Cranach the Elder : the chief artist of the Protestant
Reformation
• Arnolfini: Most viewers initially think the wife is pregnant,
but Northern Renaisance scholars tells us she is holding up
her full-skirted dress in the contemporary fashion. The Latin
inscription on the back wall of the room which reads "Jan
Van Eyck was here/ 1434" was interpreted as the artist's
witness to the marriage.
• Robert Dale: Even those readers who have studied art
history may be forgiven thinking these are by Roy
Lichtenstein (use of mass culture codes like comics)
WHO WEARS THE PANTS?
• Watch the pictures again and analyze the representation of men
and women in each of them.
Group 1:
MEN
Group 2:
WOMEN
• Toolbox:
dishonest = deceptive = lying = sly = cheating

Everyday chores = housework = dull job
Lazy and passive =/= busy and active < Overwhelmed = snowed under
Strict = severe = stern
Angry = displeased = annoyed = bad-tempered =/= good-tempered
