"the original face of the Ghent mystic lamb can't hurt you" the original Ghent lamb: 4:22

Don’t forgot about the times it was saved during the iconoclasm, drilled through, was almost used as a gift for Queen Elisabeth I (because we liked her more than Philip II of Spain), the French Revolution, Napoleon gave it back to us, we sold it to Prussia where she was censored and badly kept which caused paint to crack, bulge and disappear. Although notable detail, the whole altar piece is still in its original medieval oak frame and legend has it that one of the judges in the missed panel is modeled after king Leopold III to clarify that it is indeed a copy

This has always been one of my favorite artworks. Back in college I even found some pretty great videos that broke down the symbolism of individual panels and used them in a proposed lesson plan for my education credits.

Probably because the Van Eyck brothers wanted it to look more human-like, since in Catholic theology, the ‘Lamb of God’, as depicted in the painting is Christ.

The restoration of the paitning was absolutely incredible, and it's really worth seeing.

This is now a AR experience in the Cathedral. It was one of the best things I ever watched.

The animation, the music, the narration, the content... Phenomenal as always! Shout out to the amazing team at ted ed for interesting information throughout the pandemic..

I got to go see this in person!! The cathedral and the altarpiece are both amazing and I feel so lucky for being able to have visited 🥰

The animation is soooo stunning!! Great work Ted ed !

Ted Ed is the best educational KZread channel

"The panel has yet to be found" Will the real Sherlock Holmes please rise up from his death?!

Even Disney doesn't have a rollercoaster that is as thrilling and intense as this single video

Honestly I really love the animation. Well done, animator!

Studied this painting in my art history class in college! 🙂🎨🖌

i love cheese but i don't love it as much as "i'd rather find the thief who stole my cheese rather than find stolen art"

The editing and animation are so dope

That last clue makes me think its hidden in plain sight. Oooh

I loved the animation in this one! It was awesome!

Had a chance to see this masterpiece in Gent during restoration....truly a masterpiece.....beautiful detailing

WOAH!!!! This was such an amazing find and exploration haha :)

So ted ed has taken up the job of arousing public attention. Great job👍

Keep up the good work! Ted ed☺

i just love TED-Ed astatic and videos very informative and interesting

Can we take a moment to appreciate the theme of the videooo. It's so aesthetic 💛

Great video as usual❤❤❤

Wow, I remember seeing a copy of this in Kylemore Abbey a few years back.

I feel so amused that i knew it was the altarpiece. Just saw the movie of monument’s men 2 yrs ago. It was quite a fascinating story of knowing how hard it could be to find those large numbers of art pieces and their reaction when they found that altarpiece have been embedded to my memory. I hope someone will find the stolen piece in these days. It might have been destroyed due to unproper storation but still, nothing beats an original work.

Interesting. God bless and have a wonderful day

My grandfather has this friend who is obsessed with the mystery behind this painting "Het Lam Gods". He has lots of theories about what happened to it and once, in the Sint-Baafskathedraal where the remains of this painting are, he hid himself in the cathedral and was there for an entire night searching for the stolen art. Like ? How even? He's a cool dude though! If you ever go to Belgium, go visit this painting. It's huge and beyond this world.

Yeah, I can see why they painted over the original lamb. I mean, I get why Van Eyk made it more humanoid-looking, but boy was it disturbing to look at.

the thing is, as paintings of lambs go, it's kinda weird looking. 7/10.
