[Daily article] September 20: Virgin and Child with Canon van der Paele

Virgin and Child with Canon van der Paele is a large oil-on-oak panel
painting completed around 1434–1436 by the Early Netherlandish painter
Jan van Eyck. It shows the painting's donor, Joris van der Paele, within
an apparition of saints. Van der Paele was then elderly and gravely ill,
and intended the work as his memorial. The Virgin Mary is enthroned at
the centre of the semicircular space, which likely represents a church
interior, with the Christ Child on her lap. Saint Donatian stands to her
right, Saint George to her left. The saints are identifiable from Latin
inscriptions lining the borders of the imitation bronze frame. The
Virgin's throne is decorated with carved representations of Adam and
Eve, prefigurations of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus, and
scenes from the Old Testament. The panel is considered one of van Eyck's
most fully realised and ambitious works, and has been described as a
"masterpiece of masterpieces".

Can I get your honest opinion on something?


Hey, Paul here.

I'd like to hear from you on something…

…why didn't you buy Profit Lock?

This isn't a sales pitch. I really, honestly want to know.

Because…I'm not perfect. I'm always looking to improve and figure out how to provide my students with the best trading education possible.

Can you help me do that by filling out this short questionnaire? It'll help me hone my skills and really hit the mark next time.

Thanks for sticking around for the show. Even if you didn't buy, I appreciate you taking the time to hear what I had to say.

I guess this is where we part ways. I hope to see you again in the future!

Your (grateful) friend,

Paul Scolardi
