"God the Father" is a notable component of the Ghent Altarpiece, also known as the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, which is a large and complex 15th-century polyptych altarpiece in St Bavo's Cathedral, Ghent, Belgium. It is considered one of the most significant works of the early Northern Renaissance, attributed to the brothers Hubert and Jan van Eyck. Completed in 1432, the altarpiece represents the pinnacle of Early Netherlandish painting and has been influential in the development of Christian art in Europe.

The central panel, where "God the Father" is prominently featured, depicts a majestic and solemn figure, often interpreted as representing God the Father, seated on a throne, adorned with a crown and regal garments, and holding a scepter. This figure is flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, with choirs of angels surrounding them. The representation of God the Father in this work is significant for its iconographic elements and the use of rich symbolism, which was characteristic of the period's religious art.

The van Eyck brothers' attention to detail, use of vibrant colors through the glazing technique, and mastery of light and shadow are evident in this panel. The intricate details of God the Father's robes, the ornate throne, and the overall composition reflect the artists' skill in creating a sense of divine presence and grandeur.

The Ghent Altarpiece, and by extension the depiction of "God the Father," has been the subject of extensive art historical research, conservation efforts, and theological interpretation. Its survival through centuries of political and religious turmoil, including theft and attempted destruction, adds to the historical and cultural significance of the work. The altarpiece's influence extends beyond its artistic achievements, as it has also played a role in the history of art theft and recovery.

As a central piece of the Ghent Altarpiece, "God the Father" by Hubert and Jan van Eyck remains a focal point of study for scholars and a treasured masterpiece for visitors to St Bavo's Cathedral, embodying the spiritual and artistic aspirations of its time.
