Publisher Description: Is the bride pregnant? Why does the groom look so old? What's reflected in the mirror? "The Arnolfini Wedding" is surely the most hotly debated painting of the Northern Renaissance--and one of the most beloved. In this historical novel, E. M. Rees weaves a rich story of love and honor that answers the questions about this great picture. At her first visit to the Duke's court, young Giovanna Cenami falls in love with a mysterious stranger employed by the famous Flemish painter Jan van Eyck. But Giovanna's romantic dreams are shattered when her father tells her she must marry a rich merchant to save them all from financial ruin. When she decides to pursue her own dreams, defying her family, she finds herself in grave danger of losing her reputation, her honor--and perhaps her life.
