The Ghent Altarpiece by Hubert and Jan Von Eyck, which is housed at St Bavo's Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium, has undergone a £1.8 million restoration project which first started in 2012. The eerie 'cartoonish' lamb's face has been said to be 'alarmingly humanoid' by the Smithsonian Magazine, while other critics have called for further research into the discovery. During the second phase of the project, restorers found the original central panel had been modified during the 16th Century. The board depicts a lamb standing on top of an altar with a pierced chest and blood flowing into a chalice, which represents the Lamb of God. The overpaint, which was not visible on technical documents, was removed gradually over the course of three years. Once ripped off the team were 'shocked' to discover its 'intense gaze' and 'large frontal eyes' on the original animal. The representation laying under the overpaint was 'cartoonish' with a lamb that has a 'more intense interaction with the onlookers', according to Hélène Dubois, the head of the restoration project... |
