Jan van Eyck, 1434

I think this painting is great because of Eyck's careful attention to detail. How he was able to paint himself as one of the images in the mirror in the back of the room, escapes me. I also admire how each item within the painting symbolizes something significant in the life of Giovanni Arnolfini, the patron who commission the painting.
