Ghent Altarpiece

In Saint Bavo`s Cathedral in Ghent, a treasure is kept that art historians call the masterpiece of 15th-century Netherlandish painting and one of the most significant works of Western European art. This is the Ghent Altarpiece, also known as "The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb," a monumental polyptych created over five hundred years ago that still amazes viewers with its beauty, complexity, and mystery.
