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 was completed by Jan van Eyck in 1432, and is widely considered a masterpiece of European art and one of the world's treasures. The altarpiece is renowned for its intricate detail and the use of oil paints, which allow for vivid colors and a detailed portrayal of light and texture.

The panels depicting Adam; Cain and Abel are significant components of this altarpiece. The panel featuring Adam is on the left wing of the altarpiece, directly opposite its counterpart featuring Eve. Adam is depicted in a highly detailed and realistic manner, standing nude in a contrapposto pose. The panel captures the textures of his skin and hair with meticulous detail, showcasing van Eyck's skill in using oil paint to achieve variations in texture and depth.

Adjacent to the Adam panel are the depictions of Cain and Abel, which illustrate scenes from the biblical story of the first murder. These panels are smaller and are located above the Adam and Eve panels. They depict key moments: Cain's offering of crops, which God rejects, and Abel's offering of a lamb, which God accepts, followed by Cain killing Abel in jealousy. These scenes are rendered with the same attention to detail and realism that characterizes the entire altarpiece.

Together, these panels not only serve a religious function, illustrating stories from the Bible, but also showcase Jan van Eyck's mastery of oil painting and his ability to convey complex human emotions and narratives through art. The Ghent Altarpiece as a whole, and these panels in particular, remain a pivotal study in the development of Western art, reflecting both the religious fervor and the artistic innovation of the time.
