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 completed in 1432 and is attributed to the brothers Hubert and Jan van Eyck, who were Early Flemish painters. The altarpiece is considered a masterpiece of European art and one of the world's treasures.

The Virgin Mary (detail) is a significant component of this altarpiece, located on the second register of the opened view, to the immediate right of the central panel which depicts God the Father. Painted between 1426 and 1429, this panel showcases Jan van Eyck's extraordinary ability to render materials and details with a high degree of realism. The Virgin Mary is depicted in a red dress with a blue mantle richly adorned with golden filigree and jewels, embodying both her purity and royal status as the Queen of Heaven. She is seated on a throne and reads from a book of hours, a devotional text popular during the period.

The Virgin's serene expression, her intricate crown, and the detailed depiction of the surrounding architecture and furnishings exemplify the Northern Renaissance's focus on naturalism and attention to detail. The panel's use of oil paint, a medium that the Van Eyck brothers helped to popularize, allows for the luminous quality and intricate detailing that are characteristic of Jan van Eyck's work.

The Ghent Altarpiece has been the subject of numerous studies and writings, not only for its artistic significance but also for its historical context, having survived various thefts and wartime threats. The Virgin Mary (detail) is a testament to the Van Eycks' skill in blending the sacred with the secular, creating a work that is both a devotional icon and a benchmark of artistic achievement in the Northern Renaissance.
