"Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife" is a renowned oil painting on oak panel by the Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck, dated 1434. Often referred to as "The Arnolfini Portrait," this masterpiece is celebrated for its intricate detail, use of perspective, and the artist's pioneering technique in the use of oil-based paints. The painting depicts the wealthy Italian merchant Giovanni di Nicolao Arnolfini and his wife, possibly Giovanna Cenami, standing in a room that is richly appointed with furnishings indicative of their social status.

The work is noted for its iconography, complex symbolism, and the enigmatic nature of its content, which has been the subject of extensive art historical inquiry and interpretation. Among the most discussed elements is the convex mirror at the painting's center, reflecting two figures in the doorway, one of which is commonly believed to be a self-portrait of van Eyck himself. Above the mirror is the Latin inscription "Johannes de Eyck fuit hic 1434" (Jan van Eyck was here 1434), attesting to the artist's presence in the scene.

The painting's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of textures and materials, from the luxurious fabrics of the couple's garments to the gleaming brass chandelier. The use of light and shadow, as well as the careful depiction of spatial relationships, demonstrates van Eyck's mastery of the oil medium and his innovative approach to painting.

"Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife" is housed in the National Gallery, London, and remains one of the most studied and admired works from the Northern Renaissance, offering a window into the cultural and social milieu of 15th-century Burgundian life. Its enduring appeal lies in its blend of realism and mystery, inviting viewers to ponder the lives and times of the figures it portrays.
