The Ghent Altarpiece is one of the most detailed paintings in art history. In this video, we explore how Jan van Eyck used light, symbolism and astonishing precision to blur the line between the chapel and the painting, revealing reflections, hidden narratives, unusual faces and the famous Mystic Lamb.
