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 begun by the painter Hubert van Eyck, who was commissioned by Jodocus Vijd and his wife Elisabeth Borluut in 1425, and upon Hubert's death in 1426, it was completed by his younger brother Jan van Eyck. The altarpiece was finished and installed in 1432. It is considered a masterpiece of European art and one of the world's treasures.

The panel titled "Angels Playing Music" (detail 3) is one of the many intricate panels that make up this complex work. Painted by Jan van Eyck, this panel is part of the lower register of the opened altarpiece and depicts a group of celestial beings in adoration through their music, playing various medieval instruments. The angels are rendered with exquisite detail, showcasing van Eyck's mastery of oil painting techniques, including his ability to depict textures, light, and form with a high degree of realism.

The angels are clothed in ecclesiastical vestments, and their individuality is expressed through their serene faces and the details of their instruments, which include a harp, a viol, an organ, and a lute, among others. The music-making is symbolic of the heavenly harmony and the divine nature of the scene they are part of, which is the adoration of the Lamb of God, central to the Christian faith.

The "Angels Playing Music" panel is celebrated for its vivid coloration, meticulous attention to detail, and the lifelike representation of the figures and their garments. The use of glazes and the artist's understanding of light contribute to the depth and richness of the image. This panel, along with the rest of the altarpiece, has been subject to extensive study and conservation efforts, especially given its tumultuous history, which includes thefts and various relocations during times of conflict.

The Ghent Altarpiece, and by extension the "Angels Playing Music" panel, has had a significant influence on the development of Northern Renaissance art and continues to be an important piece for the study of early Netherlandish painting. Its complex iconography and the technical innovations present in the work have been analyzed and admired by art historians and enthusiasts alike.
