VAN DER WEYDEN, THE SPACE BUILDER: MASTER ROGIER'S ARCHITECTURES IN PAINTING

In Van der Weyden's paintings we note that the technical perfection in using oil takes him "to build" architectures with high precision in their structures and decorative moldings, but not in the treatment of perspective, sometimes distorted depending on the exhibition grounds, as shown in Triptych of the Seven Sacraments. Due to his interest in decorative, he structures some works as a monumental porches, with reliefs that introduce parallel discourses of great iconographic, as shown in Triptych of Miraflores. The fusion of indoors and outdoors, the recreation of the grisailles and symbolism architectures, place Van der Weyden following his master, Robert Campin, footsteps and at the same time turn it signs of Van der Weyden identity, key for dating with certain paintings and a model for his followers.
