 The Ghent Altarpiece (wings open) by EYCK, Jan van
The name Hubert itself, which was not common in Ghent, may well indicate his foreign origin.
It states that the polyptych was begun by Pictor Hubertus Eyck, and finished by his brother Jan, at the request of Jodocus Vijd, deputy burgomaster of Ghent, warden of the church of St John, and of his wife, Elisabeth Borluut, who commissioned it.
The most famous work of Jan van Eyck is a huge altarpiece with many scenes in the city of Ghent.

 Oberlinger Bros. Pipe Organ Building Company: Reconstruction of a Gothic Positive
The Gothic organ from Norrlanda (Sweden) which is entirely preserved except for the pipes, has been an exemplary model for interior details of the instrument; for example the shape of the pallets and the construction of the rollerboard.
This peculiarity has been interpreted for the reconstruction so that the visible front sides of the pipes are made from an alloy with a high tin content.
In the Ghent Altarpiece, van Eyck has rendered vertical pipe seams on both sides of the front pipes.
