One of the more famous paintings in The National Gallery in London is Jan van Eyck`s Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife ('The Arnolfini Portrait'). See also http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/collection/features/architecture_trail/feature2.htm
Less well known is a portrait of the same sitter by the same artist in Berlin, painted about the same time as the painting in London.
