The Ghent Altarpiece, also known as the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, is a large and complex 15th-century polyptych altarpiece in St Bavo's Cathedral, Ghent, Belgium. It is widely considered one of the most significant and influential paintings in Western art history and is attributed to the brothers Hubert and Jan van Eyck. Completed in 1432, the altarpiece is renowned for its intricate detail, use of oil paint, and pioneering techniques.

One of the key panels of the Ghent Altarpiece is "The Virgin Mary," which is the central panel on the second register of the left wing when the altarpiece is closed. This panel, often referred to as "The Virgin Mary 3" to distinguish it from other representations of Mary in the altarpiece, depicts the Virgin Mary seated on a throne, embodying the role of the Queen of Heaven. She is portrayed in a richly decorated blue robe, symbolizing her purity, and is reading from a book, which is indicative of her wisdom and contemplation.

The panel is a masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art, showcasing the van Eycks' skill in rendering textures, light, and form with an unprecedented realism. The Virgin's serene expression, the ornate throne, and the detailed background all contribute to the panel's devotional and aesthetic impact. The use of oil paints allows for subtle gradations of color and light, creating a sense of depth and volume that was revolutionary for its time.

"The Virgin Mary 3" is an integral part of the Ghent Altarpiece's iconographic program, which combines Old Testament typology, Christian doctrine, and complex symbolism. The altarpiece as a whole, and this panel in particular, has been the subject of extensive art-historical research, conservation efforts, and has a storied history, including thefts and recoveries.

As a work that has been pivotal in the development of European painting, "The Virgin Mary 3" by Hubert and Jan van Eyck continues to be studied and admired for its beauty, technical mastery, and rich iconography.
