Van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece

Today we have two videos telling us more about van Eyck's famous Ghent Altarpiece. It's full of symbolism and interesting details that we wouldn't normally get close enough to see! Definitely worth watching, but be aware of some nudity. Details below.

*Parents, please be aware that the Ghent Altarpiece includes a naked Adam and Eve to the far right and left when open. Genitals are covered with hands, breasts are shown. All views in the first video are from a distance, there is a brief close up in the second video. Time stamps are provided below.
