The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck, 1434. The art historian Erwin Panofsky wrote a short essay that reads deep into the symbolic elements of this famous painting by the Flemish artist Jan van Eyck. If you can get hold of it then definitely give it a try, especially if you are interested in Panofsky’s iconographical methods and the deeper meanings behind what the artist decides to depict in a painting.

“Dear to me is sleep, and dearer to be of stone while wrongdoing and shame prevail; not to see, not to hear, is a great blessing: so do not awaken me; speak softly.”
