The Temptation of Reality, the Ghent Altarpiece by the Brothers Van Eyck

After 8 years of restoration, the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of painting, has regained its original splendour. Created by Hubert and Jan Van Eyck in 1432, this monumental painting and its disturbing realism have been questioned to this day. Through a spectacular staging and thanks to the interventions of the greatest art historians and artists as prestigious as David Hockney, the film offers a journey to the heart of this revolutionary work, which marks the shift of our civilization towards modernity.
