The most important work of the brothers Van Eyck, and the one that places their names among the great masters of painting for ever, is the famous altarpiece, "The Adoration of the Lamb", of which the central Portion is preserved in St-Bavons at Ghent, while the wings have found their way to the Museums of Berlin and of Brussels. It is one of the enigmas of art. All the questions bearing on it may, however, be reduced to two: Who was its author? and, What was its origin? As to its authorship, all we know depends on an inscription obscure enough, which is to be read on the edge of its frame:
Pictor Hubertus e Eyck major quo nemo repertus
Incepit pondus: quod Johannes arte secundus
Suscepit letus, Judoci Vyd prece fretus Vers-V seXta Ma-I: Vos CoLLoCat a-Cta tVerI.
The faulty Latin of this cryptic inscription means: "Hubert van Eyck, the greatest painter that ever lived, began this work [pondus], which John, his brother, second only to him in skill, had the happiness to continue at the request of Jodocus (Josse) Vydt. By this line, on the 6th of May, you learn when the work was completed, i.e., MCCCCXXXII."

HUBERT VAN EYCK (1366?-1426).
Hubert est l'aîné des deux grands peintres, dont l'influence sur l'art chrétien fut à la fois si universelle et si profonde. On ne saurait indiquer d'une maniere positive ni l'annee ni le lieu de sa naissance. Le baron de Keverberg, s'appuyant sur le nom meme des deux freres, les croit orginaires d'Eyck, petit village eloigne d'un quart de lieue de Maeseyck, et connu plus tard sous le nom d'Ouden- ou Alden Eyck; mais l'on s'accorde assez generalement, sur la foi de Van Mander, a faire uaitre Hubert a Maeseyck meme, vers 1366. Il mourut a Gard, le 18 september 1426.

Die Annahme, dass es sich bei Hubert van Eyck um den Bruder Jan van Eycks handelt, lässt sich nach neuesten Forschungserkentnissen nicht mehr aufrecht erhalten
