The #GhentAltarpiece, completed by Jan & Hubert van Eyck in 1432, is one of the most iconic achievements of Early Netherlandish painting. Its vibrant colors, detailed symbolism, and layers of meaning still captivate art historians and visitors alike. Each panel tells a story within a story.
"L'Agneau Mystique" was consecrated in St. Bavo's Cathedral #OnThisDay in 1432; there's no need to believe in the religious doctrine articulated by Hubert & #JanVanEyck's #GhentAltarpiece to appreciate it as the supreme masterpieces of European #art
