Ghent, St. Baafskathedraal

Posted 1 year ago by avatar lizette in response to avatar decaffed's question: I'm a very religous person. Can gou guide me to that well- known cathedrale in Ghent? (give a different answer) .

I have a feeling you'll be disappointed...St. Baafskathedraal is unimpressive from the outside, dark and sad...Most people come to see the painting Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, a lavish representation of medieval religious thinking. It's an oil work of Jan Van Eyck, a primitive Flamish artist ...So old, that I was afraid for it not to fall apart- it was executed in 1432. St. Baafsplein, that's the location...
