	History of Art: Gothic Art- Hubert van Eyck, Jan van Eyck
		The designation of Hubert as ‘Master’, his absence from guild records, the childlessness revealed in his heirs’ living outside Ghent and his sister’s burial beside him, all suggest that he was in minor orders, perhaps attached to the abbey church of St Bavo, Ghent (Dhanens, 1980).
		He was probably commissioned to paint the retable with a painted or carved figure of St Anthony (untraced) for the altar in the church of the Saviour, Ghent, which Robbrecht Portier and his wife endowed on 9 March 1426.
		Pietro Summonte’s assertion (1524) that he began work as an illuminator is supported by the fine technique and small scale of most of Jan’s works, by manuscript precedents for certain of his motifs, and by his payment in 1439 for initials in a book (untraced) for Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy.

		As the defining monument of the "new realism" of Northern Renaissance art, the Ghent Altarpiece was regarded as both the foundation of a distinguished tradition, and an exemplary achievement to challenge all later artists.
		The discovery in 1823 of a rhymed quatrain on the frame of the altarpiece confirmed that it was begun by Hubert van Eyck, and even described him as greater than his more famous brother
		The astonishing realism of the altarpiece rests not only in the fidelity with which figures, plants, and animals are represented in a convincing space, but also in its ability to forge a sense of continuity between the pictorial and the real world.

	Who Is the Central Image in the Ghent Altarpiece?
		The Ghent altarpiece (1432) by Hubert and Jan van Eyck, contains a striking image, wearing a papal crown and garments, seated upon a throne, with a crown at his feet.
		Moreover, the central figure is in a triptych of the altarpiece between the Virgin Mary on the left and St. John the Baptist on the right pointing to him -- both figures closely related to Jesus in iconography.
		After a long discussion, Panofsky concludes: "To summarize: from the point of view of representational traditions, we may safely continue to refer to the central figure in the 'upper triptych' as God the Father....
