Aussie comedian and art historian Hannah Gadsby continues her comedy lectures about four masterpieces of art.

This time she's exploring Jan Van Eyck's masterpiece 'The Arnolfini Portrait'.

Hannah reveals how she first came to study the portrait, the mystery behind it and why people have remained so fascinated by it down the years.

Plus she puts an image of Vladimir Putin in your head that you will find hard to shake.

Born in Tasmania, Hannah's first encounters with art were solely through books. When she worked in a bookshop after graduating, she realised the craze for Dan Brown's 'The Da Vinci Code' had parallels with critics' sleuth-like 'readings' of 'The Arnolfini Portrait'.

Written and performed by Hannah Gadsby.

With her Quotebot aka John Lloyd.
