Artwork Details
The Arnolfini Portrait (1434) by Jan van Eyck is considered one of the most original and complex paintings in Western art due to its stunning detail, complex iconography, geometric perspective, and expansion of space with the use of a mirror. It is a full-length double portrait depicting the Italian merchant Giovanni di Nicolao Arnolfini, his wife and dog in their residence in Bruges. The dog appears to be a Griffon terrier, or early Affenpinscher. The couple poses in a luxurious upstairs room with a chest and bed, with a cherry tree seen outside a stained glass window. Van Eyck's elaborate signature on the back wall may indicate the portrait was a legal record of the marriage, complete with witness signature. It reads: Johannes de eyck fuit hic 1434 (Jan van Eyck was here).

Framed Art Prints
We offer modern frames intended to complement any art. No glass/glazing is used to showcase paper texture and avoid glare/reflectivity. Smooth paper maintains detail and color; textured paper slightly softens color with a traditional paper finish; and resin coated paper slightly deepens color adding a semi-gloss finish.
Frames are solid wood, ready to hang with kraft paper backing and hanging wire installed.
Giclée Prints
Giclée prints are created on professional inkjet printers using archival quality, acid-free paper or canvas. Unlike a normal inkjet, prints are created using 12 different colors cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, matte black, light magenta, light cyan, light gray, very light gray, orange, green, and violet) to provide the best possible color reproduction.
Our art prints and canvases maintain the highest possible detail, preserving color, scale, proportions and visual textures, an accurate reproduction of the art.
