Episode 90: The Ghent Altarpiece

You know her, you love her, and today we finally talk about: The Ghent Altarpiece, or the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb. This magnificent masterwork is not only Jan Van Eyck's most prolific work of art, but also the world's most steal-able altarpiece. This was such a great episode to make, just wait until your hosts record in front of her live. Check out our website for all the Art Conservation related links that we talked about in this episode!

Join us as we worship the horrific man-face of the lamb of God, discuss the numerology in relation to the Divine, bemoan the treatment of this centuries old painting, and ponder just how magical it would be to stumble into a decommissioned salt mines and found all of these magnificent European masterpieces. Tasty, tasty, tasty!
