The Arnolfini Portrait, 1434

Jan van Eyck

Oil paint, oak panel · 82.2 x 60 cm

A merchant couple stand for a portrait crammed with tiny, disputed symbols.

Van Eyck's 1434 couple stand in a richly furnished room, a convex mirror behind them reflecting the whole scene — and the painter himself. Dazzling in its microscopic oil detail, it is a landmark of Northern Renaissance realism and hidden symbolism.
