"Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife," also known as "The Arnolfini Portrait," is a renowned oil painting on oak panel by the Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck, dated 1434. This masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art is housed in the National Gallery, London. The painting is celebrated for its intricate detail, use of light, and pioneering use of oil paints. While the full painting depicts Giovanni di Nicolao di Arnolfini, a wealthy merchant from Lucca, and his wife, presumably in their home in the Flemish city of Bruges, there is a specific interest in the detail images of the work, which reveal the artist's meticulous attention to texture, pattern, and symbolism.

The detail often referred to as "Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife (detail) 2," typically focuses on a specific element of the painting, such as the mirror, the chandelier, or the couple's hands. Each of these elements is rendered with exceptional precision and carries symbolic meaning. The convex mirror at the center of the back wall, for example, reflects the room and two figures standing at the door, believed to be witnesses to the scene. The mirror is surrounded by ten medallions depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ, emphasizing the painting's religious undertones.

The chandelier hanging above the couple, with only one of its candles lit, has been interpreted as a symbol of the all-seeing eye of God or as a representation of the couple's marital unity. The joining of hands is another focal point, often highlighted in detail studies, which may signify the sanctity of marriage or a form of a marital vow.

Jan van Eyck's signature above the mirror, "Johannes de eyck fuit hic 1434" (Jan van Eyck was here 1434), attests to the artist's presence at the scene or his role in witnessing the event depicted. The painting's overall complexity and the enigmatic nature of its iconography have led to extensive scholarly debate and various interpretations over the years.

The "Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife (detail) 2" exemplifies the artist's skill in creating a narrative through detail and serves as a testament to the sophistication of 15th-century Northern European art. The painting's enduring appeal lies in its rich symbolism, the realism of its portrayal, and its historical significance as one of the earliest and most sophisticated examples of oil painting in Western art.
