"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 celebrated for its intricate detail, use of light, and pioneering use of oil-based paints. The painting depicts Giovanni di Nicolao di Arnolfini, a wealthy merchant from Lucca, and his wife, possibly Giovanna Cenami, standing in a well-furnished room of their home in Bruges.

The work is noted for its iconographic complexity, with various objects in the room serving as symbols that have been interpreted in multiple ways, reflecting themes such as the sanctity of marriage, the role of women, the presence of God, and the wealth and status of the Arnolfini family. The mirror at the center of the composition, surrounded by scenes of the Passion of Christ, reflects the backs of the couple and two additional figures, one of whom may be a self-portrait of the artist himself. The chandelier, the single lit candle, the fruit on the windowsill, and the intricate Oriental rug are among the elements that have been subject to extensive iconographic analysis.

The painting is also notable for its technical brilliance, particularly the use of light to create texture and space, and the reflection in the convex mirror, which demonstrates van Eyck's mastery of perspective and his ability to manipulate light and shadow to achieve a sense of depth. The artist's signature above the mirror, "Johannes de eyck fuit hic 1434" (Jan van Eyck was here 1434), adds to the enigmatic quality of the painting, suggesting a complex interplay between artist and subject.

Housed in the National Gallery, London, since 1842, "Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife" is one of the most studied and admired works in the history of art, offering a window into the world of 15th-century Flemish society and the innovative artistic techniques of the time.
