The Arnolfini Portrait: Van Eyck's enigmatic Arnolfini portrait offers rich material for debating its meaning. Does the female subject's voluminous gown indicate that she was pregnant? Amber travels around the country to see the garment's fabric evolve from raw wool to the finest cloth, and discovers how wool was dyed in the 1400s, using natural ingredients from botanical and bodily sources.
