The Ghent Altarpiece, also known as the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, is a complex polyptych altarpiece created by the Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck, with contributions from his brother Hubert van Eyck, who is believed to have started the work. Completed in 1432, the altarpiece is a seminal piece of Northern Renaissance art, which has been influential in the development of painting due to its detailed iconography, complex composition, and pioneering use of oil paint.

A central panel of the altarpiece, often referred to as "Adoration of the Lamb" (detail 1), painted between 1425 and 1429, depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation (Revelation 7:9). In this scene, a multitude of figures from across all nations and races gather around the mystical Lamb of God, which stands upon an altar in a verdant field. The Lamb, an embodiment of Jesus Christ, is shown bleeding into the Holy Grail, symbolizing the sacrifice of Jesus for humanity's sins. This panel is the focal point of the lower register of the opened altarpiece and is surrounded by panels that show a variety of prophets, saints, and martyrs who are all in attendance to witness the sacred event.

The "Adoration of the Lamb" is renowned for its exquisite detail and use of color, which is characteristic of Jan van Eyck's technique. The panel is filled with symbolic elements, such as the fountain of life, the four rivers of paradise, and a variety of flora and fauna, all rendered with meticulous attention to naturalism and texture. The altarpiece's overall theme reflects the redemption of mankind through the sacrifice of Christ, and the detailed panel of the Adoration of the Lamb plays a crucial role in conveying this message.

The Ghent Altarpiece has a tumultuous history, having survived numerous thefts and wartime looting. It was considered a masterpiece of European art and a treasure of Belgium, housed in the Saint Bavo Cathedral in Ghent. The altarpiece has been the subject of extensive conservation and restoration efforts, which have revealed much about the Van Eycks' techniques and the artwork's original appearance. The "Adoration of the Lamb" continues to be a focal point of scholarly research and public interest, embodying the spiritual and artistic aspirations of its time.
