It closely resembles passages in his 1432 Ghent Altarpiece, and is today generally accepted as a copy of a lost original, rather than a pastiche. Although there is consensus among specialists that it is by a workshop hand, other, but less likely, suggestions attribute a youthful Jan, his brother Hubert, or Petrus Christus.The painting is structured into three levels. The top terrace shows a Deësis of God the Father, the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist. The middle section shows four groups of angles, while the lower level has two groups of holy men; with Christians led by a Pope and princes to the right, and Jews led by blindfolded high priests to the left. These two groups represent true believers and non true believers in Christ as the messiah respectively. The water that flows from the top to the lower terrace is intended as a symbol of "the Grace that illuminates the Triumphant Church and blinds the Synagogue".The painting was in Spain by the fifteenth-century where it became highly influential and was widely copied.
