- The convex mirror is a c 1916 oil with pencil on wood panel painting by Australian artist George Washington Lambert. The work depicts the interior of Belwethers, a cottage in Cranleigh, a village in Surrey in southern England. Lambert was influenced in the creation of this work by the late-Renaissance artist Parmigianino's 1520s painting Self-portrait in a Convex Mirror. It is a jewel-like piece of painting, with the lustre of a looking-glass, in which Lambert explored the distinction between how things appear in the picture or in a mirror, or how they are in life itself. He placed the artist within the painting on a separate plane from the other people within the scene, and showed him ignoring them and looking out to the viewer – observing the entire scene through a convex mirror. His hand thrusts forward, without a brush, spread wide as it would when distorted in a mirror. — Anne Grey, Lambert's friend, artist Thea Proctor said The convex mirror "has the exquisite finish of the Dutch Masters, and shows that a present-day artist could also paint small things in a large manner." The painting was acquired by the State Library of New South Wales in 2012 as part of a bequest from art collector Helen Selle. (en)
