The White Chapel gallery had unique type of arts. The only 

portrait that was interesting was by Picasso. Everything else 

looks as if it was made by kids in preschool to fourth grade. 

There were many pieces that looks as though thrown 

together and decided to display the mess as art.

My trip to the National Gallery became one of my favorite

 galleries. It took me a while to narrow one painting down,

but because I have to, it is The Aronolfino Portrait. The 

intrinsic detail of the two people seen only in the mirror 

made me fall in love with this piece. Arnolfini seems to be 

greeting someone. It was not painted to be literally seen but

 more as a portrait to be analyzed. With a deeper depth of

 analyzation, you can see the subliminal message the artist 

had left. It indicates his name in Latin, "Jan Van Eych was

 here 1434,"The Arnolfini Portrait shows a story I feel as 

though I can read. It also shows that the couple has a cat as

 a pet. Even though the wife is not pregnant in this picture,

 I can tell she wants a family. The cat symbolizes 

the only thing she cares for.
