The Ghent Altarpiece, also known as the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, is a complex polyptych panel painting created by the Early Netherlandish master Jan van Eyck and, possibly, his brother Hubert van Eyck. It is considered one of the most significant and influential artworks of the Northern Renaissance, both for its intricate iconography and for its pioneering use of oil paint. The altarpiece was commissioned by Jodocus Vijd and his wife Elisabeth Borluut for the Saint Bavo Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium, where it remains to this day, although it has been moved and restored multiple times.

One of the panels of the Ghent Altarpiece features a detailed representation of Adam, which is known as "Adam (detail 2)" and dates from 1425-29. This panel is part of the outer wings of the altarpiece and is displayed when the altarpiece is closed. It is paired with a corresponding panel of Eve on the opposite wing, and together they frame the central image of the Annunciation scene when the altarpiece is closed.

The "Adam (detail 2)" panel showcases Jan van Eyck's extraordinary skill in rendering the human form with a high degree of realism and attention to detail. Adam is depicted in a contrapposto stance, reminiscent of classical sculptures, which was innovative for the time and indicative of the Renaissance's revival of interest in antiquity. The figure's anatomy is meticulously crafted, with a focus on the play of light and shadow that gives the body a three-dimensional quality. The panel also features a richly detailed landscape in the background, which is characteristic of van Eyck's works.

The Ghent Altarpiece, including the "Adam (detail 2)" panel, has been the subject of extensive art-historical research and conservation efforts. It has survived centuries of political and religious turmoil, including theft and dismemberment during various wars. The altarpiece's importance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its historical significance, as it has influenced countless artists and continues to be a focal point of study for art historians around the world.
