In view of the news that buildings around the UK are to have art projected upon them later to celebrate the completion of a website showing the national collection of oil paintings I thought I'd share one of my particular favourites.
Shown is The Arnolfini Portrait - oil on oak. Incredibly it was painted in 1434 by Jan Van Eyck, an artist working in Bruges. He has signed and dated the painting with a flourish on the back wall of the room.
The painting hangs in The National Gallery, London. If you'd like to see and hear
more about this work of art, along with many other Western Europeam masterpieces, why not join me on your own private guided tour of the Gallery?
Complete the contact form and leave the rest to me.
