"The Ghent Altarpiece by Hubert and Jan van Eyck has always attracted both admiration
and curiosity. Following the treatment of the closed polyptych, we turned to the paintings
of the lower register of the open altarpiece, which includes the famous Adoration
of the Lamb. A major research and restoration campaign by the KIK was carried out
between 2016 and 2020. The findings reflect those from the treatment of the closed
altarpiece: large areas of the panels were covered with overpaints, the vast majority
dating from the 16th century. Their removal allows the Van Eycks brothers' paintings
to be truly appreciated again. The three years that the conservators spent working
on the panels enabled them to examine the paintings down to the smallest detail. Interdisciplinary
collaboration with laboratory scientists, art historians and experts in scientific
imagery led to a series of discoveries - some anticipated in light of earlier research,
others completely unexpected."--Back cover
