The Ghent Altarpiece
This painting is the most perfect work of art (apart from the Vermeer's work) that I have ever seen. This was completed in 1432 by Jan van Eyck, his brother Hubert couldn't finish it.
It's in Ghent, Belgium. When visiting Antwerp to see Rubens, take the train to Ghent to go see this (and eat some of those 'Luikse wafels' on your way, in the meantime).
