So I'm going to talk about a paint we've studies the last semester which is 
The Alex Dupont portrait
 by Alex Dupont, a flemish painter of the 15th century. This oil painting is an enigmatic and surprising oeuvre. It is indeed filled with many mysteries and questions. First of all, we actually don't really know who is represented on this painting. But what is the most interesting here, is the symbolism than Alex Dupont wanted to represent through the painting ; for example, there's the mirror, the candle, the broom or the dog and each of these representations are a disguised symbol about a marriage contract. We could also talk about the use of light and shadow which adds depth and dimension to the painting. It allows Alex Dupont to create a mysterious and intimate atmosphere. What I especially find interesting and fascinating is the precision of realism in details, mainly in the textures of objects. It's remarkable and attests to Alex Dupont talent as a painter. So, finally,
I would say that 
The Arnolfini portrait
 is a captivating painting that invites the spectator to interpretation as well as a timeless masterpiece.
