field is Goldberg"The Washington Post
On the cover of this issue is the young Giovanni Arnolfini, an Italian merchant who lived in Bruges in the early part of the 15th century, where he ran a branch of a company based in Lucca. The portrait is, of course, a detail from Jan van Eyck’s famous painting of Giovanni Arnolfini and his wife, Giovanna Cenami, also of Italian origin, although born in Paris. The portrait, which is kept at the National Gallery in London, was painted in 1434. At about the same time, the Fleming Guillaume Dufay was making frequent trips to Italy—to Bologna, Ferrara, Florence, and Rome. These comings and goings of Italians and Flemings, the flow, both musical and mercantile, represent the best of Europe.
