The Arnolfini Portrait ☷ Van Eyck ☲ Canvas

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).

⿴ About Stretched Canvas

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.

⿻ Materials

Giclée printed with eco-solvent inks to resist fading for over 100 years

Canvases are archival-grade, acid-free, satin-finish polycotton fabric

Frames and stretcher bars are solid wood with black backboard and hanging wire installed
