The Ghent Altarpiece by Jan and Hubrecht van Eyck is an exceptional masterpiece, one of the most influential paintings ever created. Peter Schmidt sketches the historical background, the origin and the vicissitudes of the altar retable. He introduces the reader into the complex relationship between image and interpretation. The iconographic richness of The Mystic Lamb is not easy to fathom. The author guides us through the twenty-four panels of the polyptych, using the Bible and the writings of the Church Fathers as keys. Peter Schmidt is titular canon of St. Bavo’s Cathedral, doctor of theology and renowned exegete. He is a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts in Vienna. IN DUTCH!
