Van Eyck and Analyzing Art in the Northern Renaissance”

Hey everyone,

I love this picture because it shows two people getting married. It shows some love from theses two people. The way the lady is so simply standing there and looking at her husband and who he is. The way they hold hands so far apart but yet you know by the way they are looking they love each other. I think that is very important. Even at home my husband and I are not the type of couple that hang all over each other to show each other love. Now the picture frame in the back is a little odd. I for one do think that the couple in the fame was done so will. The detail on that is great. And the fact that the painter so nicely put himself in it makes it so much better.
