Hubert and Jan van Eyck, Ghent Altarpiece, Ghent, Belgium, 1432

This altarpiece was created by a brilliant Flemish artist Jan van Eyck. I chose this piece because it took God, who is transcendent in the priestly source of the bible, and made him very human. This altarpiece would have been a wonderful way to capture the imagination of worshipers in the Saint Bavo Cathedral.
