Sorcerer's Mirrors

The convex glass mirror, also known as a Sorcerer's Mirror, or œil de sorcière, has been a source of fascination across many cultures and many centuries. From mystics in the East and West who used them as tools to scatter and repel the evil eye, to 15th- and 16th-century Flemish painters like Jan van Eyck, who famously used convex mirrors in their paintings to display their brilliant mastery of optical effects, convex mirrors continue to be a source of wonder and fascination even today.
