    Actually it's not possible to know whether the woman was pregnant or not, and even the dating of the scene is in dispute. The cut of the dress and the posture of the woman were elements of style in that day, and considering the obvious display of wealth in the picture, the woman would naturally be depicted in the best style. The only thing that can be said with confidence about the picture is that you can make up your own story as you like. If the woman is not pregnant she certainly is trying to appear so, and if she is pregnant, she is proudly and fearlessly so, probably because Mr. Arnolfini's money would be able to paper over any serious scandals. Things don't change much.

    The bride in the painting is NOT pregnant. It is a misconception. Angie on the other hand, is definitely pregnant but not married, because she doesn't believe in giving her man the right to be a husband. Just a cash cow and sperm donor.

    The woman in the painting is NOT pregnant. Her dress is being held up.

    110

    I have a master's in art history - in Van Eyck's Arnolfini Wedding, she is not pregnant, rather holding the fabric of a heavily draped dress up and against her chest - if you look closely, you will see where the fabric folds against her actual silhouette.

    111

    1st! lol!

    Well, good job Perez!

  12. anon. says – reply to this


    112

    The woman in the van Eyck portrait is not pregnant, it was just the style of the dress that made her look like she was.

  13. Christy says – reply to this


    113

    Wow.. This is the most educated discussion I have seen on your website. Kudos to you for bringing up a clever comparison, and kudos to everyone else on here that actually have a brain!

  14. Marcus Aurelius says – reply to this


    114

    Excellent!!! Perez/Mario, you have outdone yourself. This is a classic. This would make a good poster/print. My favorite of all your side-by-sides.

  15. frank says – reply to this


    115

    that was really funny!

  16. Jennifer A. says – reply to this


    116

    Those 2 are home-wreckers. Has either one won an Oscar? Brad used to be good, but now he is a baby-sitter. Who cares if she is pregnant. It takes no talent to do that. They are both no talents. J.A.

  17. Marcus Aurelius says – reply to this


    117

    The couple on the right actually looks friendlier, sexier, more dignified, more life-like, and more approachable.

    118

    Funny! And keep up the good work.

  19. Sarah says – reply to this


    119

    very good comparison even though the woman in the arnolfini wedding portrait is not pregnant

  20. flo says – reply to this


    120

    The similarities are uncanny the mirror in the Van Eyck picture is like the cameras the paps are holding both reflect an image, the red carpet the red bedding, I wonder if they are secretly married like Janet Jackson was for years and managed to keep it out of public record until she was divorcing. They seem married…

  21. HAHAHA says – reply to this


    121

    YOUR FINANLY RIGHT ABOUT SOMETHING EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM LOOK STAGED. WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS PITT HAS AGED SO MUCH SHE'S EATING HIM ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    122

    Haha,

    That's a painting from a Belgian artist :-)
    Beautiful painting, ugly Angelina

  23. NL says – reply to this


    123

    Re: Jennifer A. – As a matter of fact, Angelina is an Oscar winner. People change, so why dread on the past especially when it does not concern anyone but them. It's amazing how people are so nosey. Do you want someone getting into your business. They love each other, move on. If Jennifer was perfect like some of you think, then why have she dated so many people. It's because they weren't right for you, and maybe that was the same for Brad and Jennifer too. People fall in love, some fall out, that happens… so he found love again, so what, other celebrities find love right after breaking up w/ their spouse/significant other. People, don't be so judgemental when you don't know any of them personally, just what you read.

    124

    i have that doggie!! he belongs to the artist and he painted him into every portrait. cool!!! i was so shocked to see that. mine is named deanMartin

  25. BRAD IS SUCH A PUSS says – reply to this


    125

    LOL IS THAT NOT CUTE HOW BRAD DYES HIS HAIR THE COLOR OF HIS LADIES. FIRST HE WAS BLONDE WITH JA THEN NOW DARK WITH THIS BIMBO. GOD WHY CANT THE GIRL DYE HER HAIR TO MATCH HIS?

    129

    When i see Angelina I still see a self cutting, blood drinking, brother kissing, home wrecking skank! Am I the only 1?

  30. A says – reply to this


    130

    Well actually I'm an art history major and the woman in The Arnolfini Wedding Portrait is not preggers. If you look closely she is just holding up her dress.

  31. sarah says – reply to this


    131

    PEREZ you are soo art literate!!! luv it!!!!!!

  32. bunnie says – reply to this


    132

    nice. haha. maybe that dress was inspired by that artwork, haha.

  33. moe says – reply to this


    133

    ha ha. cute.

  34. Jackie says – reply to this


    134

    Hey Perez,
    Love the reference. But the woman in that painting is not actually pregnant. During that time period, the women's clothing was draped so they way they held the fabric made it look like they were preggers!

    Still..love your life.

  39. raisa says – reply to this


    139

    your best S@B ever Perez. This rocks my socks off.

  40. Kate says – reply to this


    140

    Great! Good job Perez… now i am wondering about Brad and Angie getting married since as far as i recall they said they will marry when everyone will be able to get married and since California is now pro gay marriage well… just wondering…. any news on that?
    I really hope they do get married… whore + adulterous should stick together, that way she would take her paws off any other hot guys… so the hollywood ladies can take a breath and let their husbands go out by themselves…

  41. Eyez says – reply to this


    141

    LMAO! only perez would think some shit up like this.
    I just took an art history course, and if i woulda thought of shit like this I woulda passed the course with FLYING colors instead of a C.

  43. Van(Tokyo,Japan) says – reply to this

    In stance and in Fashion, that is the only resemblance. But please don't compare her to the virtuous woman in the painting.

  46. megan says – reply to this


    146

    WOW! that's the greatest.
    good job!
    hahahaha

  47. beauty says – reply to this


    147

    She's a beautiful pregnant woman and looks exactly as she should for having twins. Nothing is worse than listening to people who have never had children, criticize or make fun of the appearance of a pregnant woman. I'm 9 1/2 months pregnant and due next week, and most people have been nice, but there have been a couple of rare instances where I encountered someone who doesnt want kids and made no effort to hide their complete disgust over a pregnant body. Let them see how they feel when they are old and alone at the end of their lives with no one to come and visit them or really care, and in the meantime their friends are all spending holidays with their adult children.

    Kudos Perez! Way to pull out the obscure art school reference!

  51. Sara says – reply to this


    151

    thats too funny! also in the pic the man is supposed to be super old (like 40ish for that time) and the girl is apparently 13! I'm a history major…kinda like brad and ange's age difference…

  52. meg says – reply to this


    152

    oh perez..i'm so proud of you for making such an art historically appropriate comparison!

  53. Rosa says – reply to this


    153

    Gorgeous! The most beautiful couple ever!

  54. perez is an idiot says – reply to this


    154

    so this is "separated at birth" solely because she's wearing a green dress..? as many people have already noted the woman in the portrait isn't even pregnant. wow you think you know art. you're a dumb ass perez.

  55. Cassie says – reply to this


    155

  60. rita says – reply to this


    160

    the woman in the "arnoldfini wedding portrait" isn't pregnant at all… it's the way dresses were like in the 16, 17 century…

  61. jackie says – reply to this


    161

    Perez, you got class.

  62. Goddiva says – reply to this


    162

    God why don't they just go live in the woods?! Her hand on the stomache……………..makes me wanna vomit. I guess after being used as human condom knowing that though men wanted to fuck her but didn't take her seriously or wanted to wife her (Billy and the exes still wonder what they were thinking) I guess spitting babies out like a farm animal is more respectable!

  63. chantal says – reply to this


    163

    what person who works at perez's headquarters knows anything about fine art? really impressive. this is a great painting as is all of jan's work.

  64. ANGE & BRAD = PERFECT COUPLE says – reply to this


    164

    The lot of you are as mean as the words you immaturely spew out towards this couple. Perez loves Brangelina and obviously was paying them a compliment with this comparison. Were you a fucking saint when you were a teenager? Angie has grown immensely since then - she's done a fuck load more humanitarian work than Jen - and I like Jen! I'm just stating the FACTS. Angelina SAVES 1/3 of her paycheck. FACT. She GIVES 1/3 of her paycheck. FACT. Keeps 1/3 of her paycheck to live on. FACT. DO YOU?? Probably not! You're all so jealous. Brad would've left Jen by now because their priorities are so different. Ange & Brad are two peas in a pod.

  65. NICE SIMILARITY, PEREZ says – reply to this


    165

    DAMN! ANGELINA'S BOOBS ARE HUMONGOUS NOW THAT SHE'S PREGNANT AGAIN. AND NOT FAKE! IT WAS SWEET HOW SHE SAID ON E! HER KIDS WANT TO FEED THE TWINS BROWNIES WHEN THEY'RE BORN. WHAT AN ADORABLE FAMILY.

  66. #9 says – reply to this


    166

    Hey, to the idiot who said you're upset that she's always clutching her stomach while pregnant - obviously, you've never been pregnant. Most women hold their bellies because it's HEAVY. Stop judging.

  67. Angelina chose that dress because... says – reply to this


    167

    Re: Harmonia – Nope. She stated she chose the dress because Green is her favorite color and it matched her green eyes.

  68. Amanda says – reply to this


    168

    Ahaha, for the first time Perez, that was a good one.

  69. joe Mamma says – reply to this


    169

    there is debate about whether the Arnolfini portrait is a "wedding" portrait… it is often called the Arnolfini Double Portrait. And she is not pregnant… that is how they portrayed women's bodies back then.

  75. katie says – reply to this


    175

    It is similar, but i will just add that the lady in the painting wasn't actually pregnant, it was just her dress style of the time making it look that way. I myself used to think the lady in the painting was pregnant 2 until investigation some years ago.

  76. casan says – reply to this

    i knew ive seen a photo kinda similar to that brangelina somewhere! its crazy!

    177

    This is great, I was just about to go, but that lady's not pregnant! but since everyone else has already said it, i'll point something else out. You can totally see the painter in the mirror behind them :D yay for Art in Society class!!!!

    179

    i am impressed by your comparison. i love that jan van eyke painted his self portrait in the back mirror - presence of the creator. that is mimicked in the brange with the paps! and they are both convex glass (lens and mirror).

    bravo, mister!! thanks for the art history!

    182

    I'm a 31-year-old straight male but to be honest I wouldn't hit it. What's the fascination with her? I haven't had sex since July '96 however I'm sorry but if Angie came up to me and asked me if I wanted to sleep with her, I'd have to pass. I wouldn't be able to get it up from her. Not that I'm a Jennifer Aniston fan, I wouldn't do her either. I'd rather do Brad, but as I said I'm straight (meaning I wouldn't do Brad but I'd pick him over Angelina).

  85. I don't think so says – reply to this


    185

    I don't think he will ever go back to Jen even (as many say) if he is still in love with her. He is too good of a father to go back to Jen and then have his children question the love or maybe lack of love he had for their mother. I don't think he would have them thinking he made a mistake loving and having a family with their mother.

    its funny, i will give you that perez but all that are in common is the color.. ive studied art history and taken enough classes and lectures from profs who say that arnolfini's bride is NOT preggers… they would NEVER memorialize a shotgun weddin and it is just an unfortunate unflatterin choice of dress.. this is actually a portrait of weddin on the right and on the left is just all sorts of ugly [angelina]

    Awesome comparison, only the woman in the painting isn't pregnant. It's just the fashion of the time.
