What the museum label doesn't tell you
Look at the terrace wall in the background, right behind the two figures gazing at the landscape: two tiny hooded men, barely visible, peering over the battlements. Nobody knows who they are. One theory says it's Van Eyck himself and an assistant, slipped into the scene the way he signed the Arnolfini mirror without signing it. A Burgundian chancellor kneels before the Virgin, and the painter watches from the far end of the panel, as if checking his client's devotion was genuine. The whole landscape behind them - river, city, mountains - is painted at such tiny scale the Louvre itself notes it's almost invisible to the naked eye. Quiet signature, or quality control on his own commission?
