I decided to finally go see the Lambs blood or the Adoration of the lamb of god, it is a monumentally significant piece of painting history, it was commissioned in the 1420's and was completed in 1432.
It is located at De Sint-Baafskathedraal in Gent where Van Eyck, is from. this hugely celebrated masterpiece has survived hundreds of years of abuse, separation, misplacement and even still an original panel is missing, all this and time and yet the painting remains.
Come check out Gent and don't forget Van Eyck.
