Quiet Covenant

In The Arnolfini Portrait, Jan van Eyck creates a hushed, intimate scene: a richly dressed couple stands in a sunlit chamber, hands gently clasped. The convex mirror behind them reflects two figures, possibly the artist and his servant—while the chandelier, still-worn pattens, oranges, a faithful dog, and a single lit candle teem with symbolic meaning. Painted in 1434 with masterful oil glazing on oak, the work is a feast of texture, light, and iconography, quietly celebrating wealth, marriage, devotion, and mortality. In ikonoTV’s Slow Art video, each carefully rendered detail emerges in slow, meditative focus. This work can be seen at [The National Gallery, London,https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/jan-van-eyck-the-arnolfini-portrait]
