Jan Van Eyck
The Jan Van Eyck is born in 1395,and died 1411.He is the best artist in Netherlands school of painting,and he also invented oil painting so he has a very large contribution to the art.In his life he drew a lot of painting and my favorite one is "Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife ".

In this painting the room is decoration very luxury,adove the person's chandelier is very expensive because this chandelier is elaborate.The two person both are wearing expensive clothes,their
clothes maybe is use the sable and ferret's fur to mad.The man's gown original has a very beautiful collar but because as time goes by so faded.The man's black hat is very epidemic at that time.between the two people has a mirror and in the mirror has two people the wedside said maybe they are the artist.The woman feet has a little dog,in that time the dog represents loyalty.

    Very nice commentary on the painting! You did a great job there and even found the people in the mirror, which is amazing and also strange. There are other strange things in the painting as well. It also is famous for the amazing detail, especially in the clothes. Your first part could have been longer--you have so many good sites, you could have read a bit more.
