The Ghent Altarpiece, also known as the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, is a complex polyptych panel painting that is widely considered one of the most significant works of art in European history. Completed in 1432, this masterpiece was primarily crafted by the Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck, although his brother Hubert van Eyck is also credited with its commencement. The altarpiece is renowned for its intricate detail, pioneering use of oil paint, and its early example of extensive use of disguised symbolism.

Detail 4 of the Ghent Altarpiece, specifically focusing on the "Adoration of the Lamb," is one of the central panels of the lower register when the wings are opened. It depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation (Revelation 7:9) where a multitude of figures are gathered to worship the Lamb of God, symbolizing Jesus Christ. The Lamb stands on an altar, with its blood pouring into a chalice, signifying the sacrifice of Jesus for humanity's sins.

This particular detail is a testament to Jan van Eyck's mastery of oil painting techniques, allowing for a luminous landscape that recedes into a distant horizon, a feature that was revolutionary at the time. The panel is populated by a diverse array of figures, including prophets, martyrs, saints, and angels, all rendered with meticulous attention to detail and individuality. The figures are arranged in groups that represent different strands of Christian faithful, all converging in their worship of the Lamb.

The Adoration of the Lamb is also notable for its rich iconography and the use of naturalistic elements such as the flowing water and the verdant meadow, which are depicted with a level of detail that was unprecedented in Northern European art of the period. The panel's composition, with its carefully structured space and perspective, demonstrates van Eyck's skill in creating a coherent and harmonious narrative space.

The Ghent Altarpiece has survived numerous threats throughout its history, including theft, vandalism, and the ravages of war, and has been the subject of extensive conservation efforts. Today, it remains on display at its original location, Saint Bavo's Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium, where it continues to be an object of admiration and scholarly study for its artistic and historical significance.
