Perhaps the biggest secret in art history. What caused the drastic shift in painting accuracy during the golden age? Was technology involved in the 17th century?

Hey r/UnresolvedMysteries! Long time no see.

I'm back again with another benign mystery. I worked on and off on this for quite a while and found the research really interesting.

As always here is THE VIDEO VERSION for those who prefer it. I always try to make these with as little fluff as possible.

The biggest secret in art history

Imagine, if you will, you are a town-dwelling early 17th century European. Throughout your lifetime you have been exposed to wonderfully crafted paintings in what would be known as the baroque period.

As you leave the local tavern, walking the cobblestone paved streets home, perhaps familiar with locally renowned painters like Rembrandt, el Greco and Breughel, you catch a glimpse of something strange.

You spot a painting, not just any painting. A piece of art unlike anything you've ever seen before.

An indoor scene, details exquisitely placed, natural lightning that mimics the sun peering through your own windows. Truly a portal in to someone's life that seems indistinguishable from real life, as if a photograph taken centuries before the invention of the modern camera.

NOT JUST AN INTERPRETATION

In the 17th century, during what would be known as the Baroque period, important themes in art were emotional states, often dramatic and exaggerated. A sense of grandeur, drama, vitality and extreme movements. Paintings in a baroque style, as the word itself implies, did not ascribe to the regular or immaculate but would rather try to illicit an emotional response.

However, at around 1650 something changed. Some artists, mainly situated in the Netherlands almost overnight learned how to paint with the most exquisite of detail and perfect lighting, as if they had sold their soul to the devil in exchange for unprecedented artistry.

Perhaps the most famous of those artists was Johannes Vermeer. When I say famous in regards to Vermeer, I am actually referring to his paintings, not the man himself.

In fact, very little is known about this illustrious artist. His exact date of birth is unknown. As is the fact in how he gained his amazing painting skills.

In the 1600s in Holland, it was customary as an artist to train under masters. Which master you trained under could lend credence to your own skill

Hot take on Secret History reading order

It's only a big deal if you make a big deal about it.

Sure, SH lets you in on Kelsier being around, but it doesn't tell you when or why or how he might come back into the picture. Some people might be more likely to guess that he's the Sovereign, but others still need things to be spelled out. (Heck, I understood that Kell was the guy in the metalmind, but I still needed to have it printed out that the guy in the metalmind <I>was</I> the Sovereign, and not that there were two dead guys somehow walking around). Sure, SH shows TLR going Beyond, making it inexplicable that he's around ruling SoScad, but without the context of SH it's just as inexplicable that there's a thoroughly dead guy who's now alive again.

What does make it far more spoilery is when people are going "Wait til BoM before reading SH! It's got massive spoilers!". Because then people will be looking for connections, and the obvious conclusion after reading Secret History is that Undead Kelsier is going to be majorly involved somehow. (Though even then, there's enough plot twists in BoM that wouldn't say it's <I>ruined</I>, especially since the coin reveal is an epilogue to the actual book's plot).

If someone asked me when to read SH and <I>I had no other information to go on</I>, I would say after BoM/Era 2 is best. But preferably I'd tailor my advice to the individual. If the person says they loved Era 1 overall but are feeling a lack of closure, or they really wish there was more Kelsier, I'd be more likely to suggest skipping straight to SH.

And if they read it in the " wrong" place? Not a big deal. Not a big deal at all.

The Secret History by Donna Tartt was truly an experience

The book was about 600 pages long but I honestly did not want it to end! Donna Tartt has such a way with words that her prose has left such a big impression on me. Even her describing foliage and environment was beautiful, like each word was carefully picked to hold up a sentence. I completely get why people say her book feels like reading a classic with the way her prose is written (can't properly describe it in words, but having read classics for this month I get why people have said this). I loved the timeless feel that this book really gave off.

Some scenes are so vivid such as the winter part where I almost felt the same isolation that Richard felt, as well has the tension, that something bad might happen anytime during the second half of the book after the murder. Is this book realistic? I don't think so, but the way Tartt writes makes it so real for the reader and I really felt I was transported in the same place as the characters.

I know some did not like the characters, but it honestly did not matter to me that they are unlikable? You see through Richard's POV and he never really saw them otherwise until near the end when he got out of his head for a bit. When you truly step back, all the characters are to some degree horrible humans and what they do is horrible, but like Richard said, this is his fatal flaw, and once you step back from this book do you really see that for what it is.

The book is a murder 'mystery' but the whole murder was laid out in the prologue, so much of the book is about asking 'why' it happened, with Richard only asking himself that near the end. I thought the Epilogue ended right as it should. Although not a good person, I find Henry to be quite a memorable character and I think it really leaves you something to think about.

What are your thoughts on this book? Any similar book suggestions after this? (I might check out the Goldfinch sometime).

The Secret History... Satire or self-indulgent?

I am not quite finished it yet, about 400 pages in. They're at the >!funeral of Bunny, staying with the Corcorans!< Please don't spoil beyond that part as I hope to finish it soon.

I do wonder though why this book is so lauded? I mean it's well written but even the writing is pretentious. And I get she's satirising these people but at the same time.. I think there's an element of awe in it.

All of the characters disgust me.

No spoilers, but does anyone agree or am I a lone shark here?

Edit: My comments are being downvoted a lot and I'm just wondering how this encourages discussion? Reading can be both personal and subjective and to downvote just because I don't like the book is a bit gatekeeperish.

No other book in the world thatโ€™s like The Secret History

The Secret History is a pretty popular book on this subreddit and my favorite book ever. Since Iโ€™ve read it three years ago Iโ€™ve read at least 10 other books that have even recommended for fans and while some are actually pretty good, none even get as close. The prose, plot, and characters were all just working in tandem in that book and the entire novel canโ€™t be described in words.

Donna Tartt is such a wonderful and special writer and her work can never come close to being replicated. The books I did actually like that were reminiscent of TSH were โ€œThe Lake of Dead Languagesโ€ and โ€œThe Likenessโ€ by Tana French.

1946 Netherlands Forces in the UK. Why is my grandfather's personal history an international secret?

EDIT: I've added a few more specifics below. I was apprehensive at first because for us it was all such a revelation to find what we did. ...

My grandfather served in the Dutch Military Forces in the UK. He died over 30 years ago.

He signed up in 1946, and I have his ID card, military possession sheet, and a document from the UK, ordering him to go from London to The Hague via Hook, complete the mission, and report back to London. There is one other name also on the order. It's signed by the attache to the Dutch Forces in the UK. The letter is typed in red ink, and then typed over in black X's, but I managed to decipher what was underneath. It's written in English.

I have a hard copy paper trail of his location at intervals between 1940 and up to his departure from The Netherlands in 1952.

When the war started, he worked for the Ministry of Agriculture and, as all were, was forced to work for the new German government. However, he secretly did not comply; we know he was in the underground movement, and we know he "dealt with" more than one person. EDIT: We know that he forged documents for individuals and farmers so that they and/or thwir stock wpuld not be taken by the government. This is not heresay, we have evidence of it.

About a week after the war ended, he was sent to locate someone in The Netherlands from Zeist ( I have half that letter, it's torn vertically, I don't know who it was written by). Three weeks later he has a letter from the police attesting to his good character, as he was "wounded" and in hospital (it doesn't say which one). Not injured (EDIT: as in an accident), but wounded (which May or may not have implications. Why would he need a letter from the police to be released from hospital if he hurt his arm in a farm accident?).

And then of course came the military in 1946.

His immigration record in Australia is restricted for: a) personal safety b) international relations c) to protect Australia's defense and National security

FOI request is in the works in Au, but it seems unlikely they'll release it.

Dutch Ministry of Defence tell me he was never in the military. I have plenty of evidence he was. Searching his military number yields no results in Dutch databases.

Dutch Military Records Department tell me he went to the East Indies. I know for a fact he did not, I have evidence he was in UK and Netherlands when they say he wasn't.

I don't think I'll ever truly know, but I'd like to make an educated guess. Whatever i

On the "Secret History of the Mongols"

The object of this post is to cast doubt on the veracity and historicity of the work of "Mongolian" literature known as the Secret History of the Mongols.

Layout of a 1908 Chinese edition of The Secret History of the Mongols. Mongolian text in Chinese transcription, with a glossary on the right of each row

From Wikipedia: "The Secret History is regarded as the single most significant native Mongolian account of Genghis Khan. Linguistically, it provides the richest source of pre-classical Mongolian and Middle Mongolian.[2] The Secret History is regarded as a piece of classic literature in both Mongolia and the rest of the world."

However, Wikipedia goes on to admit that the origin of the texts and manuscripts are highly dubious, stating: "The only surviving copies[!] of the work are transcriptions[!] of the original Mongolian text with Chinese[!] characters, accompanied by a (somewhat shorter) in-line glossary and a translation of each section into Chinese. In China, the work had been well known as a text for teaching Chinese to read and write Mongolian during the Ming dynasty, and the Chinese translation was used in several historical works, but by the 1800s, copies had become very rare[!]."

So was the Secret History really a work of Mongolian literature, or was it Chinese?

Moreover, Wikipedia states: "Baavuday Tsend Gun (1875โ€“1932) was the first Mongolian scholar[!] to transcribe The Secret History of the Mongols into modern Mongolian, in 1915โ€“17. The first to discover the Secret History for the West and offer a translation from the Chinese glossary[!] was the Russian sinologist Palladiy Kafarov in 1866. The first translations from the reconstructed[!] Mongolian text were done by the German sinologist Erich Haenisch (edition

I listened to it for the first time the other day and been thinking about it, and honestly im a little sad about how some parts of it turned out. For instance, when the Lord Ruler died, I really really thought he would stick around to see how things turned out with his death, the man murdered an emperor, too the power of divinity, lived a thousand years and planned how to defeat a literal god; only to just nope out of there like "Nah i'm done with this, good luck".
I had really hoped he would stay around, even in the background just off exploring or whatnot.

Question about Secret History

Era 2 and Stormlight Archive spoilers too

So I've just finished my reread of Era 1. The only things I have yet to read in the Cosmere are White Sand, Mistborn Era 2 and all the Arcanum Unbounded mistborn stories.

So, I know SH is 7.5 and is supposed to be read in that order. Here's the thing: I know some spoilers. I don't know any specifics about Era 2, but I know that in Bands of Mourning there is a big revelation which involves Kelsier. I don't know if he just walks in there or if it's something more subtle, but truth is, whenever I read Bands of Mornings I'm pretty sure I'm going to spend most of the time reading it thinking about when is Kelsier going to show up. I also know that Kelsier interacts in some way with Leras and Ati in Secret History (again, I don't know any specifics) and I know that Kelsier is Thaidakar (so I assume he gets out of the Spiritual Realm or whatever).

So yeah, I don't know anything specific yet I do know those general things. Is it still worth it waiting and reading SH after Bands of Mourning or should I just read SH now?

Amazing Detail from the Way of Kings and Rythem of war! Spoiler for Mistborn and Secret History and Stormlight 1-4!

So I just watched Lost in Discovorys amazing video about Galvilars palace through all the books and he mentioned how Gavilar asks Szeth if Thaidakar sent him. We donโ€™t hear the name Thaidakar again until ROW and that itโ€™s Kelsier.

Just shows that even back in the early 2000โ€™s when he started writing these he knew where they were going. Which makes me think even though heโ€™s writing book 5 of SL he definetly knows what the ending of book 10 is which makes me happy

History's โ€œUnidentifiedโ€ & the Secret Meeting of Intelligence Officials Running AATIP - Or, was it?

"Remember that meeting between "intelligence officials" who ran the present day AATIP, as depicted in History Channel's "Unidentified" Season 1, Episode 6? It created quite a stir... but was it fabricated? In 2019, a U.S. Army Counterintelligence agent contacted The Black Vault with the full story. 2 1/2 years later, they chose to go public with it. Here is an entire breakdown of what we know."

- John, Black Vault Originals

For those of us who would rather read John's analysis, you can find his summation on the The Black Vault website.

The vast majority of modern human history is unrecorded. Wouldn't it be great to know all the lost secrets of our past.

I need a little help on secret history reading order

So Iโ€™ve read all of the Cosmere with the exceptions of White Sand and Mistborn Era 2 and Secret History. Iโ€™m starting a full Cosmere reread and Iโ€™m going to be reading Era 2 for the first time. Iโ€™m not sure, should I be reading Secret History before Era 2 or after it? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
