" The Arnolfini Marriage, 1434 " by Jan Van Eyck

The marriage of one family of Italian merchants to another is immortalized in this wedding portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and Giovanna Cenami, wed in Bruges in 1434. Two images that wish the couple well, a solitary candle symbolizing God's presence and a carved image of St. Margaret, patron saint of women in childbirth, join the author's signature in the Gothic calligraphy to indicate his attendance at this ceremony. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of colour, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. With bas-relief organic styling, the multi-tiered, replica European style 3.25" wide frame is cast in quality designer resin and highlighted with an aged gold-toned finish. Proudly printed and framed using imported moulding.
