The Arnolfini Wedding

One of Van Eyck's best known paintings is the Arnolfini Wedding, a work of marvellous reality and
unity. Meticulous detail and incredibly realistic light share importance in the painting. Light enters at
the left and softly illuminates the metal chandelier, hard walls, soft fabrics and flesh. All the detailed
objects i the room have right hand and the little dog are symbols of fidelity. The clogs, cast aside,
indicate that the couple stands on holy ground. The peaches ripening on the chest are a sign of
fertility. Van Eyck witnessed the ceremony and so signed his name on the wall above the mirror with
words meaning "Jan Van Eyck was here in 1434". A miniature composition can be seen in the
convex enlarging mirror. The mirror shows not only the backs of the couple but also the front view of
Jan and another person.
