Measuring an impressive 350 x 461 cm, this masterpiece is housed in St Bavo's Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium. [H2]A Rich History[/H2] Commissioned by Jodocus Vijd, a wealthy merchant and Mayor of Ghent, the altarpiece was initially set up in the Joost Vijdt chapel at Saint Bavo Cathedral on May 6, 1432. The polyptych consists of multiple panels that were opened on feast days to reveal intricate inner views, contrasting with the relative austerity of the outer panels. [H2]Exploring the Ghent Altarpiece[/H2] The altarpiece is divided into two main sections: the lower register features donor portraits and saints, while the upper register showcases prophets and Sibyls gazing upon the Annunciation. The central panel displays the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, a powerful symbol of Christ's sacrifice.
