Perhaps one of the most fascinating illustrations of the Deposition, and one that combines multiple narratives into one shallow scene, is Rogier van der Weyden’s Descent from the Cross, 1435-1438 [Fig. 1].

Wedding Portrait (1434, oil on wood, 82.2 cm x 60 cm, National Gallery, London) by Jan Van Eyck is one of the most extraordinary and mysterious paintings in art history. The complexity and rich detail makes it perplexing to art historians who have never been able to establish the true meaning behind the portrait.

The results that we gathered supported this exact hypothesis. The first substance to melt was indeed paraffin and the second was glucose, and then sucrose and finally salt. The results are supported by the basic…
