The "Arnolfini" portrait, painted by Jan van Eyck in 1434, is one of the world's most famous paintings. This title tells the story of the painting's survival through fires, battles, hazardous sea journeys, and its role as a mirror reflecting the culture and history of the time - from jewel of the Hapsburg empire to Napoleonic war trophy.
