(계 5:6) 내가 또 보니 보좌와 네 생물과 장로들 사이에 한 어린 양이 서 있는데 일찍이 죽임을 당한 것 같더라 그에게 일곱 뿔과 일곱 눈이 있으니 이 눈들은 온 땅에 보내심을 받은 하나님의 일곱 영이더라 슥3:9, 슥4:10, 계4:5

This is the central panel from a copy of the famous Ghent altarpiece by the Van Eyck brothers.

The Spanish king Philip II collected paintings made by Flemish masters. He very much wanted the Ghent altarpiece, which however could not leave Ghent. Philip then commissioned Coxcie to make a copy.

Jan van Eyck biography

 

This work is linked to Revelation 5:6

 

Central panel of the most famous work of art by the Van Eyck brothers.

On the foreground to the left, a procession of figures from the Old Testament. Prophets are holding books and some patriarchs are carrying attributes of Jewish feasts. Apostles kneel to the right. Behind them, the Church authorities. Between the groups, a fountain - symbol of eternal life.

Angels adore the lamb. Four of them carry symbols from the Passion: the cross, the spear used to pierce the side of Christ, the spear that held the sponge with vinegar, and the pillar of the flagellation. The blood is caught in a grail.

The groups approaching from the background are, on the left, martyrs, and, on the right, virgins. The pigeon in the top of the painting represents the Holy Spirit, shining light on all who are gathered.
