evidence: A post shared on Twitter purports the National Gallery in London is removing Jan van Eyck’s "The Arnolfini Portrait" because one of the figures in the painting resembles Russian President Vladimir Putin. [...] The post alleges the London gallery is planning to remove the painting due to the depiction of a person too closely resembling Putin. "BELIEVE IT OR NOT A London gallery wants to remove the Jan van Eyck painting after frequent complaints from visitors about the likeness of the figure in the painting to Putin. By the way, the painting was created in 1434," the Twitter post, viewed over one million times, purports. The claim is false. There are no credible news reports suggesting the gallery is removing the painting. Likewise, the claim neither appears on the National Gallery in London’s website nor its verified social media accounts. In addition, the Kremlin has not publicly addressed the purported claim.
