When we let our gaze rest upon The Mystic Lamb, a monumental and supernatural world reveals itself to us. This work painted by Jan and Hubert Van Eyck in 1432 offers more than what initially meets the eye.
Behind the sacred narrative lies an artistic adventure that heralds the birth of our modernity.

This documentary revives the soul that lies at the origin of an artistic upheaval. Renowned art historians in a spectacular setting guide us to the heart of the creative act.
