If you want to study the Lamb of God of the Van Eyck brothers or simply marvel at this high point in medieval painting, you can visit the renewed website Closer to Van Eyck since Thursday. The Flemish polyptych has been restored in recent years and can be admired from behind the desk down to the pixel (100 billion pixels in total).
According to the coordinator of the project, extraordinary professor Ron Spronk of the Radboud University in Nijmegen, it is unique that the entire project from research to restoration is so openly shared with the public. "From the restoration reports up to infrared images. The website is also very special, people can decide for themselves how deep they dive into the matter and really play with all the images, put them next to each other and compare them. One can do scientific research on the site or use it for education, but visitors can also simply marvel at the beautiful details".
It is also possible to travel to Ghent to see the work of art (1432) in real life. There, the restored panels can be seen in the Villa Chapel of St Bavo's Cathedral. In spring 2021, Lamb of God moves to the new visitor center of the cathedral.
