| Résumé : | The Ghent Altarpiece by Hubert and Jan van Eyck has always attracted both admiration and curiosity. A major research and restoration campaign of the lower register of the open altarpiece, which includes the famous Adoration of the Lamb, was carried out by KIK-IRPA between 2016 and 2020. Interdisciplinary collaboration with laboratory scientists, art historians and experts in scientific imagery led to a series of discoveries. This chapter offers a general, state-of-the-art overview of the latest findings on Eyckian materials and painting techniques by cross-interpretation of the diverse results obtained during the restoration phases of the Ghent Altarpiece. It also outlines the most recent achievements as well as the remaining challenges related to the material understanding of the Van Eycks’ polyptych. |
