	Arnolfini Report: November 2002, Andrew Kelly
		Arnolfini has a direct impact on the economy through regeneration; through its direct investment in the city of Bristol and the region; through the income generated through sales; and, long-term, through its education programme that contributes to social integration and community development.
		Arnolfini was not only the first cultural institution to take their place in the docks, but was the first organisation of any description to see the benefit of being at the heart of the city'.
		Arnolfini is remarkable for its exhibitions, live art and contemporary dance programmes and is known for its focus on education and debate.

	Arnolfini portrait - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Arnolfini Portrait (full title: Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife) is a 1434 painting by Jan van Eyck.
		This painting is a portrait of Giovanni di Nicolao Arnolfini and his wife Giovanna Cenami in a Flemish bedchamber.
		For instance, "Jan van Eyck's 'Arnolfini' Portrait", an article by Erwin Panofsky published in 1934 in the Burlington Magazine, argued that it was painted as a legal document witnessing a marriage.

	van Eyck, Jan: The betrothal of the Arnolfini (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		One of his most famous portraits is ["The betrothal of the Arnolfini"], which represents an Italian merchant, Giovanni Arnolfini, who had come to the Netherlands on business, with his bride Jeanne de Chenany.
		The young woman has just put her right hand into Arnolfini's left and he is about to put his own right hand into hers as a solemn token of their union.
		Probably the painter was asked to record this important moment as a witness, just as a notary might be asked to declare that he has been present at a similar solemn act.

	Art and Optics : David G. Stork: Focal lengths
		Using standard techniques based on assumptions of the size of Arnolfini, his wife, the distance to the rear wall, and measurements of their sizes of the images shown in the famous convex mirror depicted within the painting, I estimated the focal length of that convex mirror to be about 12 cm.
		In any case, polishing a mirror the size of that depicted in the Arnolfini portrait would have been an astounding challenge, nearly a quarter millennium before the invention of reflecting telescopes by James Gregory in 1663.
		In short, the evidence given by the image reflected by the convex mirror depicted in the Arnolfini portrait does not support the use of a concave mirror in the rendering of the painting without some ad-hoc and arbitrary claims (such as the mirror was visible, but van Eyck decided not to paint it).

	Jan Van Eyck's Arnolfini Wedding Portait
		The Arnolfini referred to in the inventory is most likely Giovanni di Arrigo Arnolfini who was born in Lucca about 1400.
		For Giovanni Arnolfini marrying into such a prominent family as the Cenamis was undoubtedly a significant boost to his financial fortunes.
		Compare the Arnolfini bedchamber to that belonging to the wife of a merchant described by Christine de Pizan in her Livre de la trois vertus.

	Mystery Painting: The Marriage of Arnolfini - Art History
		Based upon the setting of the bedchamber, the way the couple is holding hands, the man’s gesture, and historical inventory descriptions of the painting, it was generally believed that the painting represented the marriage of Giovanni Arnolfini and his young bride Giovanna Cenami, both from wealthy merchant families.
		The Latin signature of the artist and his presence in the mirror appear to indicate that the purpose of the painting was to provide proof of their marriage or their betrothal.
		A recently discovered historical document indicates that Giovanni di Arrigo, previously thought by all to be the subject of the painting, did not marry until several years after the painting was executed.

		Although this is the probable meaning, some scholars disagree and believe it may be "Arnolfini conferring legal privileges on his wife to conduct business in his absence" (University of New York ).
		Other scholars have translated different messages, but the betrothal translation is the most supported, because is it supported by the Disguised Symbolism of the picture.
