The Ghent Altarpiece role in reshaping the norms of Western art cannot be overemphasized. This key panel, titled 'Eve', which depicts the Biblical figure and falls within the timeframe of 1425 to 1429, is one of the components of the larger opus by Dutch painter Jan van Eyck. Located the Saint Bavo Cathedral in Ghent the panel is recognized for its extraordinarily intricate and nuanced depiction of Eve.

In the panel 'Eve', we see a significant shift from the traditional Medieval representation of the human form. Eve is depicted in full-length, nude, reflecting a return to Classical antiquity's realism and a departure from the more symbolic and stylized depictions of the human body prevalent during the earlier Medieval era. The panel is a prime example of van Eyck's pioneering application of oil painting techniques, enabling a new depth of detail and colour intensity. Eve's fig tree leaf and the parrot at her side are depicted with such detail and realism that they demonstrate van Eyck’s observational abilities and expert handling of oil paints.

Along with advances in artistic techniques, 'Eve' reflects the societal and religious views of the time. The naturalistic depiction of Eve, although presented in a non-idealized form, nonetheless betrays an apparent unease with the inherent sinfulness of the female body in light of Eve's role in original sin. The panel's complex symbolism and its high level of narrative detail make it an essential study for those seeking to understand the artistic, cultural, and theological underpinnings of the Northern Renaissance.

Despite being centuries old, 'Eve' continues to captivate art historians and enthusiasts alike for its pioneering role in the transformation of Western art. Known for its unique combination of realism, detail, and symbolic execution, this panel, along with the entirety of the Ghent Altarpiece, remains a stunning testament to Jan van Eyck's innovation and mastery as one of the most significant painters of the early Northern Renaissance.
