The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, also known as The Ghent Altarpiece, is a renowned early Netherlandish polyptych panel painting attributed to the brothers Hubert and Jan van Eyck. Created in the 15th century, with its completion date often cited as 1432, it is considered a masterpiece of European art and one of the world's treasures. The altarpiece is housed in the Saint Bavo Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium, and has been the subject of extensive art-historical study, as well as conservation and restoration efforts.

The central panel of the altarpiece, from which it derives its name, depicts a scene of religious significance and iconographic complexity. It shows a heavenly landscape where the Lamb of God, representative of Jesus Christ, stands on an altar, surrounded by various groups of figures, including prophets, martyrs, saints, and angels, all gathered in adoration. The lamb bleeds into a chalice, symbolizing the sacrifice of Jesus for humanity's sins. This scene is set in a verdant field, with the Fountain of Life in the foreground, and it is flanked by panels depicting the Annunciation, Adam and Eve, and representations of the just judges, knights of Christ, hermits, and pilgrims.

The altarpiece's intricate iconography and its use of oil paint—a relatively new medium at the time—showcase the van Eycks' innovative techniques, which contributed to the development of Early Netherlandish painting. The work is renowned for its detailed naturalism, use of light, and complex symbolism. The van Eycks' skill in rendering materials and textures has been particularly praised, as has their ability to create a sense of spatial depth and volume.

Throughout its history, The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb has survived various threats, including theft, vandalism, and wartime looting. It has been disassembled and moved multiple times, and some panels were stolen in 1934, one of which remains missing to this day. The altarpiece's cultural and historical significance is reflected in its influence on subsequent generations of artists and its status as a symbol of both the city of Ghent and the Flemish region. Its preservation continues to be a priority, ensuring that this seminal work of the Northern Renaissance can be appreciated by future generations.
