Painting Description
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, according to some scholars, his brother Hubert van Eyck. Completed in 1432, this seminal work of the Northern Renaissance is renowned for its intricate detail, use of oil paint, and pioneering approach to iconography and realism. The altarpiece is housed in the Saint Bavo Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium, and has been the subject of extensive art-historical study, as well as conservation and restoration efforts.
Detail 7 of the Ghent Altarpiece, specifically, focuses on the central panel of the lower register when the wings are opened, depicting the Adoration of the Lamb. This scene is an elaborate representation of 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 a halo around its head and bleeding into a chalice, signifying the sacrifice of Jesus and the Eucharist.
The panel is a masterpiece of detail and symbolism. It features a diverse array of figures, including prophets, apostles, martyrs, and hermits, all rendered with individualized features and expressions. The landscape in the background is lush and idyllic, with a variety of plants and animals, and the representation of the Fountain of Life. The panel is also noted for its use of light and shadow, which adds depth and volume to the figures and the landscape.
The Adoration of the Lamb is a pivotal component of the altarpiece, encapsulating the themes of salvation and redemption that are central to the Christian faith. The panel's execution showcases Jan van Eyck's skill in handling oil paint, his attention to detail, and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through visual means. As part of the Ghent Altarpiece, Detail 7 is not only a significant religious artwork but also a landmark in the history of Western art, reflecting the transition from the medieval period to the Renaissance and influencing generations of artists to come.
