Above them, a heavenly choir with its musicians fills the scene with celestial melodies. The composition also includes kings, noblemen, popes, theologians - representing various hierarchies within society. Van Eyck's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from intricate architectural elements to vibrant colors that bring life to each figure present.
