Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Van Eyck’s painting of the Arnolfini Marriage is famous for the circular mirror that hangs on the wall behind the couple. The mirror is the focal point of the whole composition. It has often been noted that two tiny figures can be seen reflected in it, their image captured as they cross the threshold of the room.
Detailed explanation-2: -"The Arnolfini Marriage” is a name that has been given to this untitled double portrait by Jan van Eyck, now in the National Gallery, London. It is one of the greatest celebrations of human mutuality. Like Rembrandt’s “Jewish Bride", this painting reveals to us the inner meaning of a true marriage.
