Première 'The Monuments Men' in Sint-Baafskathedraal

De Belgische lancering van 'The Monuments Men', de nieuwste film van en met George Clooney, vindt op 13 februari plaats in de Gentse Sint-Baafskathedraal. Dat laat 20th Century Fox België weten.
'The Monuments Men' is het -waargebeurde- verhaal van een groep mannen en vrouwen die van president Franklin D. Roosevelt de opdracht kregen om meesterwerken terug te halen die in handen gevallen waren van de nazi's tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De Amerikaans-Duitse prent is geschreven en geregisseerd door George Clooney, die overigens ook een hoofdrol speelt.
Het Lam Gods, het vijftiende-eeuwse meesterwerk van de gebroeders van Eyck, speelt een prominente rol in de film. Het veelluik werd in 1940 opgeëist door de Nazi's, werd vijf jaar later teruggevonden in de zoutmijnen van Altaussee en keerde in 1946 terug naar Gent.
Dat het schilderij een prominente rol krijgt in de film, stemt Annelies Storms (sp.a), de Gentse schepen van Cultuur, Toerisme en Evenementen, trots. "Het Lam Gods is al jaren één van de grootste toeristische publiekstrekkers in Gent en van cruciaal belang voor de culturele uitstraling van onze stad in binnen- en buitenland", zegt ze.
'The Monuments Men' gaat op 8 februari in première op het Filmfestival van Berlijn en zal vanaf 12 maart in België in de zalen te zien zijn. De Belgische première op 13 februari is voorbehouden voor de Vlaams filmwereld en enkele prominenten.
Begin maart onthult graffitikunstenaar Bart Smeets een moderne interpretatie van het Lam Gods op een gevel in Gent.

No doubt the reason the film is being shown in St Bavo's Cathedral is explained in this paragraph about The Mystic Lamb panels.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Provenance[edit]
The Ghent Altarpiece during recovery from the Altaussee salt mine at the end of World War II.
The altarpiece has been moved several times over the centuries.[89] Art historian Noah Charney describes the altarpiece as one the more coveted and desired pieces of art, the victim of 13 crimes since its installation,[94] and seven thefts.[95] After the French Revolution the altarpiece was among a number of art works plundered in today's Belgium and taken to Paris where they were exhibited at the Louvre.
It was returned to Ghent in 1815 after the French defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.[96] The painting's wings (not including the Adam and Eve panels)[96] were pawned in 1815 by the Diocese of Ghent for the equivalent of £240. When the diocese failed to redeem them, they were sold by the dealer Nieuwenhuys in 1816 to the English collector Edward Solly for £4,000.
The pieces spent some months in London, during which time the new owner unsuccessfully sought a buyer. They were later bought by the King of Prussia for £16,000, a huge price at the time, and for many decades they were exhibited in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.[97]
The panels still in Ghent were damaged by fire in 1822, and the separately hinged Adam and Eve panels sent to a museum in Brussels.[89]
During World War I, other panels were taken from the cathedral by German forces. Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany returned all the panels,[5] and, in 1920, after a century of separation, all the panels were again in Ghent.
In 1934, however, The Just Judges panel was stolen.[89] The Germans "bitterly resented the loss of the panels" and, at the start of another conflict with Germany in 1940, a decision was made in Belgium to send the painting to the Vatican to keep it safe.[5]
The painting was in France, en route to the Vatican, when Italy declared war as an Axis power alongside Germany. The painting was stored in a museum in Pau, and French, Belgian and German military representatives signed an agreement which required the consent of all three before the masterpiece could be moved.[5]
In 1942, Adolf Hitler ordered the painting to be seized and brought to Germany to be stored in the Schloss Neuschwanstein castle in Bavaria.
After Allied air raids made the castle too dangerous for the painting, it was stored in the Altaussee salt mines.[98]
Belgian and French authorities protested against the seizing of the painting, and the head of the German army's Art Protection Unit was dismissed after he disagreed with the seizure.[98]
The altarpiece was recovered by the Americans after the war and returned to Belgium in a ceremony presided over by Belgian royalty at the Royal Palace of Brussels, where the 17 panels were displayed for the press.
No French officials were invited, as the Vichy French had allowed the Germans to remove the painting.[99]
