See Jan Van Eyck's work in the municipal museum of Bruges depicting the Holy Virgin with Canon Van der Paele (1436).Does the canon have temporal arteritis?
Yes, says Dr J. V. Dequeker.

with difficulty. His hands are very fine looking, though wrinkled and stiff, as
occurs in rheumatism. Also note his prominet left temporal artery..
