"The Ghent Altarpiece - St John the Evangelist" is a panel from the internationally renowned polyptych, "The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb," more commonly known as "The Ghent Altarpiece." Created in 1432 by the earlyetherlandish master Jan van Eyck and his brotherert, this monumental artwork is set in Ghent's Saint Bavo Cathedral.

The St John the Evangelist panel is part of the upper register of the altarpiece, accompanying panels of other Biblical figures such as the Virgin Mary and Adam. In this panel, St John is depicted in an interior setting, emblematic of Van Eyck's mastery in creating realistic spaces and detail.

Dressing in priestly attire, St John is shown seated at a desk, deeply engaged in writing. A traditional representation is used, associating him with his symbolic attributes: an eagle and a chalice with a serpent. The eagle, representing the Saint's high-soaring, spiritual gospel, rests on the window ledge adjacent to him, whereas the chalice and serpent, a reference to an attempted poisoning of St John, are delicately positioned on the table at his side.

Jan Van Eyck's skill is particularly showcased here through the fusion of naturalistic detail with deeply symbolic content, making "St John the Evangelist" a representative piece of the Ghent Altarpiece's transcendent artistic and theological contribution to Flemish art of the Early Northern Renaissance. The panel and its accompanying pieces are lauded for their high level of detail, artistic mastery, and the innovative use of oil paint, marking a significant development in the art history of the West.
