Monument ter ere van de gebroeders Van Eyck, Bronze and bluestone sculpture in central Ghent, Belgium.
The monument presents brothers Hubert and Jan van Eyck seated on a raised double throne, with Hubert holding a Bible and Jan carrying his paint palette.
King Albert inaugurated this monument in 1913 during the Ghent World Exhibition to commemorate the two painters who developed oil painting techniques.
The statue faces the location where their notable painting, the Ghent Altarpiece, originally hung in Saint Bavo Cathedral during the fifteenth century.
The monument stands in a low emission zone near Saint Bavo Cathedral, with multiple public transportation options available for visitors.
The bronze angel at the back of the monument holds a laurel crown and stands next to Latin inscriptions on the bluestone base.
