About the author
Louis Piérard (1886-1951) was a Belgian journalist, writer and politician deeply interested in the cultural heritage of his country.
Several of his works are devoted to Belgian history, art and national identity.
About the book
Few works of art have experienced such an extraordinary history as the Ghent Altarpiece. Over the centuries it was coveted, displaced, hidden and recovered, becoming one of Europe's most famous cultural treasures.
Why this book is unusual
Part art history, part historical investigation, the book reads like an adventure story centred on one of the greatest masterpieces of Western painting.
Why this book remains relevant today
The preservation of cultural heritage remains a major issue worldwide. This book offers valuable insight into the importance and vulnerability of great works of art during periods of conflict.
