Ghent Altarpiece

As a quick point of research I have looked at the Ghent Altarpiece by Jan Van Eyk, between 1430-1432. It is an extremely famous religious triptych, with a lot of religious imagery. It is made up of 12 panels, 8 of the panels are hinged, it is an absolute work of art not just in terms of the painting itself but the triptych as a whole.

I will have to also consider what will be on the front of the fold out, rather than creating more panels, I might just keep it simple with a banner stating the saints that are inside.
