“The Arnolfini Portrait” by Jan van Eyck
Jan van Eyck’s 1434 “Arnolfini Portrait” sets itself apart from other 15th-century works of art for a number of reasons, and art historians consider it to be both original and complex for its time. Van Eyck created something that seems to share space with the viewer, offering a full 360-degree view through the use of a mirror on the opposing wall.
