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 considered one of the foremost masterpieces of Early Flemish painting and one of the greatest achievements of European art. The altarpiece was painted by the brothers Hubert and Jan van Eyck, with the majority of the work attributed to Jan van Eyck after Hubert's death in 1426. It was completed in 1432.

One of the most iconic panels of the Ghent Altarpiece is the "Singing Angels," which is part of the second register of the opened view of the altarpiece. This panel showcases Jan van Eyck's extraordinary ability to depict figures with a sense of individuality and detail, as well as his mastery of oil painting techniques. The angels are depicted with a realism that was revolutionary for the time, with meticulously rendered garments and musical instruments that reflect light and texture in a lifelike manner.

The "Singing Angels" panel features a group of angelic figures, each holding and playing musical instruments or singing from hymnals, their faces expressing deep concentration and devotion. They are arranged in a semi-circle, as if part of a celestial choir, and their music is imagined to be directed towards the central panel of the altarpiece, where the Lamb of God is adored by various figures. The angels' robes are richly adorned with intricate patterns and jewel-like colors, demonstrating van Eyck's skill in portraying luxurious fabrics and his attention to detail.

The Ghent Altarpiece, including the "Singing Angels" panel, has been the subject of extensive art-historical research, conservation efforts, and has a complex history that includes several thefts and relocations during times of conflict. It has been influential in the development of Northern Renaissance art and continues to be a focal point for studies in iconography, conservation science, and the history of religion and culture in 15th-century Europe.

The altarpiece's significance is not only in its artistic value but also in its historical and religious context. It serves as a testament to the wealth and sophistication of the patrons who commissioned it, the van Eyck brothers' innovation in oil painting, and the rich symbolism that reflects the theological concerns of the time. The "Singing Angels" panel, with its harmonious blend of naturalism and spiritual reverence, remains a key element of this monumental work, captivating viewers with its beauty and complexity.
