The painting that I enjoyed from the National Gallery was the Arnelfini Portrait. This painting has been one of my favorites for a very long time. I really love the painting because at first you think it is something but when you look closer you realize that it is something else. When you look closely you realize that there is a mirror in the background. The mirror shows the rest of the room around the couple. In the mirror you can see a man who is said to be Van Eyck. This is a big deal because artists were not supposed to be in their paintings. Van Eyck also wrote Van Eyck was here in the painting above the mirror.
