"Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife" is a renowned oil painting by the Early Netherlandish master Jan van Eyck, dated 1434. This masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art is also known as the "Arnolfini Portrait" or the "Arnolfini Wedding." The painting is celebrated for its intricate detail, use of light, and pioneering use of oil-based paints. It depicts Giovanni di Nicolao di Arnolfini, a wealthy Italian merchant, and his wife, possibly Giovanna Cenami, standing in a room that suggests domestic comfort and wealth.

The painting is particularly noted for its realism and for the detailed rendering of textures and patterns, from the luxurious fabrics of the couple's garments to the reflective surface of the convex mirror on the back wall. The mirror is one of the most analyzed features of the work, reflecting not only the couple but also two figures in the doorway, one of whom is presumed to be Jan van Eyck himself, as suggested by the Latin inscription above the mirror that translates to "Jan van Eyck was here 1434."

The work is also rich in symbolism, with various elements such as the single lit candle in the chandelier, the dog at the couple's feet, and the fruit on the windowsill all carrying potential meanings related to fidelity, wealth, and the sanctity of marriage. The exact interpretation of these symbols, as well as the precise nature of the scene depicted—whether it is a wedding, a betrothal, or a simple portrait of a married couple—has been the subject of extensive scholarly debate.

"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 early 15th century, offering a window into the world of the Northern Renaissance and the social status of the merchant class of the time. Its historical significance and outstanding execution make it a key work in the oeuvre of Jan van Eyck and a fundamental example of Early Netherlandish painting.
