the arnolfini wedding

Jan van Eyck, 1434

I can't stop thinking about this painting. I've seen it before - at the National Gallery in London - but for some reason it's sticking in my mind now. It doesn't have anything to do with fashion, my interest in this, although the bright green of her dress - in real life anyway - is mesmerizingly vibrant. It's just a really beautiful, apparently haunting image.
