The Ghent Altarpiece, also known as the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, is a monumental and complex polyptych work of art by the Early Netherlandish painters Hubert and Jan van Eyck. Completed in 1432, it is considered a masterpiece of European art and one of the world's treasures, highlighting the van Eycks' revolutionary use of oil paint and meticulous attention to detail. Among the many panels that compose this altarpiece, "Angels Playing Music" stands out as a captivating detail that showcases Jan van Eyck's extraordinary skill in rendering celestial beings and their divine activities.

This particular panel, created between 1426 and 1427, is part of the lower register of the opened view of the altarpiece and is located on the right-hand side. It depicts a group of angels playing various musical instruments, celebrating the heavenly and sacred nature of the scene. The angels are rendered with exquisite detail, each clothed in richly decorated vestments that reflect the light in a myriad of colors, demonstrating van Eyck's unparalleled ability to depict textures and light. The instruments, including a harp, organetto (a type of portable organ), viol, and lute, are depicted with meticulous accuracy, highlighting the artist's knowledge of contemporary music and instrument design.

"Angels Playing Music" is celebrated for its spiritual depth and the serene beauty of the angels, who are absorbed in their music-making. The panel exemplifies Jan van Eyck's skill in blending the earthly with the divine, creating a sense of harmony and peace that transcends the physical realm. The attention to detail, from the individual feathers on the angels' wings to the intricate patterns of their garments, underscores the artist's commitment to realism and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through visual means.
