5:17Now PlayingToday, HENI Talks is presented by art critic and writer Martin Gayford.
Despite being ‘one of the towering figures in the history of art’, Jan van Eyck is a painter ‘about whom the vital facts are almost all missing.’ Very little is known about the man himself, his motivations, or the people he depicted in his iconic work 'The Arnolfini Portrait' (1434). Although small in size, the painting is rich in detail and is championed as one of ‘the most stunning pieces of illusionistic realism’ in Western art, that influenced generations of artists.
Join Martin Gayford as he presents some of the mysteries that lie behind van Eyck’s masterpiece, introducing the symbols which have enticed generations of art sleuths to puzzle over the work, in search of the definitive answers.
