Looking at the mirror of the painter’s eyes, looking at the mirror of the writer’s mind.

I have always thought that the best way of expressing an artistic feeling is including in your artwork a mirror, a more or less evident mirror.
Diego Velázquez used to organize his masterpieces around this idea. A mirror is in front of his Venus (National Gallery, London, 1647-51) and infinite mirrors are hidden in Las Meninas’s room (Museo del Prado, Madrid, 1656): one of these mirrors is in the spectator’s hand and some other mirrors… I am sure that they are flying around the spectator’s imagination, even if he has not got any sensibility.
