The "Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife" (detail 3), painted in 1434 by the Early Netherlandish master Jan van Eyck, is a seminal work of Northern Renaissance art. This painting is often referred to as the "Arnolfini Portrait" and is celebrated for its intricate detail, use of light, and complex iconography. The work is believed to depict the Italian merchant Giovanni di Nicolao di Arnolfini and his wife, possibly Costanza Trenta, although some art historians have debated the exact identities of the subjects.

Jan van Eyck's meticulous technique is evident in the detailed rendering of textures and materials, from the luxurious fabrics of the couple's garments to the reflective surfaces of the chandelier and mirror. The convex mirror in the background is particularly notable, as it not only reflects the couple but also includes the image of two additional figures, one of whom may be van Eyck himself, thus adding a layer of self-referential complexity to the work.

The painting is rich with symbolic elements that have been the subject of extensive scholarly interpretation. The small dog at the couple's feet is often seen as a symbol of fidelity, while the single lit candle in the chandelier may represent the presence of God. The oranges on the windowsill and chest could symbolize wealth and fertility. The intricate patterns on the carpet and the detailed depiction of the room's furnishings further showcase van Eyck's skill and attention to detail.

Van Eyck's use of oil paint allowed for a greater range of color and finer detail than the tempera used by many of his contemporaries. This technique contributed to the lifelike quality of the figures and the illusion of three-dimensional space. The "Arnolfini Portrait" is housed in the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be a focal point of study and admiration for its artistic innovation and enigmatic symbolism.
