Commissioned by Joos Vijd and his wife Lysbette Borluut, this folding altarpiece was probably designed by Hubert van Eyck and painted largely by his younger brother Jan, who finished it in 1432. Opened on feast days, it shows God enthroned between Mary and John the Baptist, above a meadow where saints, prophets and pilgrims converge on the Lamb of God.
