About this audio guide
This guide to the Groot Vleeshuis in Ghent turns on a fifteenth-century wall painting in the butchers' chapel of Saint Hubert, and on a date the city itself cannot settle. It brings in the painter Nabur Martins, the Burgundian court of Philip the Good, and a guild dean who found his own way into the picture. You'll also hear about the restoration now under way and the small chapel space being built to view the mural.
