Like a scene by Campin, the Deesis of this work is unusual in that it shows the Virgin Mary reading abook.

Saint Cecilia is depicted playing the organ next to a naked Eve holding the citrus fruit in this work.This work's back shows a crown-wearing Mary with a haloed dove directly above her in an Annunciationscene. This work includes another image of the dove of the Holy Spirit surrounded by white and gold circlesof light at the top of a scene that also includes an image of the (*) fountain of life below a pedestal surroundedby fourteen angels in a circle; that pedestal holds a golden chalice, into which blood falls from the chest of thesacrificial Lamb of God. For 10 points, name this huge work of art designed by Hubert and painted by his brother,Jan van Eyck.
