This is a Wedding Portrait painted by the northern Renaissance artist van Eyke. What's great about it is how he uses symbols commonly recognized in his day scattered throughout the painting. On the right you will see a list of possible symbolic references found in the painting (not all of the ones listed are in the painting however). If you think you see it, click it and see if it is indeed highlighted. Click on one that isn't in the painting and it will simply disappear.
