	NGA - Tilman Riemenschneider: Master Sculptor of the Late Middle Ages - Münnerstadt Altarpiece
		Carved altarpieces, which had been produced since the late thirteenth century, were in great demand in Germany in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries: they combined sculpted figures with an architectural encasement.
		In the early 1980s the parts of the altarpiece that remained in Münnerstadt were installed in a modern encasement to present them at the proper height and in the proper light.
		In the Münnerstadt altarpiece she was shown surrounded by angels and flanked by Saints Kilian and Elizabeth of Hungary.

	Altarpiece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An altarpiece is a picture or relief representing a religious subject and suspended in a frame behind the altar of a church.
		The altarpiece is often made up of two or more separate panels created using a technique known as panel painting.
		Two most famous examples are the Byzantine Pala d'Oro in the Basilica di San Marco, Venice and the Ghent Altarpiece (1432) by Hubert and Jan van Eyck.

	Ghent Altarpiece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ghent Altarpiece or Adoration of the Mystic Lamb (Dutch: Het Lam Gods or The Lamb of God) (completed 1432) is a very large and complex polyptych panel painting in the Joost Vijdt chapel at Saint Bavo Cathedral, Ghent, Belgium.
		The altarpiece consists of twelve panels in two rows, eight of which painted on both sides.
		The upper row on the front shows Christ the King surrounded by the Blessed Virgin Mary and John the Baptist.

	WebMuseum: Altarpiece, retable, reredos, predella
		An altarpiece is a carving, painting, sculpture, screen or decorated wall made for a Christian church altar, the table at which mass is said.
		The centre of the altarpiece features a depiction of Christ, the Virgin Mary or a saint, with the side panels generally showing scenes relating to the life of the central figure.
		Altarpieces divide into two main types: the reredos, which rises from ground level behind the altar, and the retable, which stands either on the back of the altar itself or on a pedestal behind it.

	Galerie Nef: A Medieval Altarpiece
		The Grace altarpiece, executed at the very beginning of the 16th century, is made of three panels (triptych): in the center the Crucifixion, at left the Crowning with Thorns, at right the Kiss of Judas and the Arrest of Jesus.
		The altarpiece and its retable were bought for 60 livres and the armoire for 42.
		The altarpiece was thus certainly given to the abbey at the beginning of the 16th century.

		In the Miraflores Altarpiece the painted architectural frames represent portals, and with their sculptural construction and tripartite form they are reminiscent of the portals of Gothic church architecture.
		This difference may be to do with the much smaller size of the Mary altarpiece, but it corresponds to a general tendency in Rogier's development.
		Art historians long assumed that it had been painted before the Werl Altarpiece by the Master of Flémalle, dated 1438, because the gesture of the right hand of John the Baptist in the left-hand wing of that work (Prado, Madrid) was assumed to derive from the depiction of the risen Christ in the Miraflores altarpiece.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Mexico -- U.S. returns stolen Mexican altarpiece found in Santa Fe gallery
		The return of the carved and gilded wooden altarpiece is a reflection of how thefts of colonial artwork have increased in recent years, even as the pilferage of pre-Hispanic archaeological artifacts has decreased.

		The two are linked not only by the use of a painted golden frame structure in the picture (not found, or not yet found, in any other surviving works by Rogier), but also in the style of the underdrawing.
		As in the Seven Sacraments Altarpiece, a unified scene, in this case a landscape, links all three panels, while the center is marked off from the side panels and emphasized.
		Not only do the gestures of Mary, John, and the grieving angels express strong emotion, so also do the billowing cloak of Saint John and the ends of Christ's loincloth, which swirl ornamentally in the air, though on the whole the work is less emotional than the Abegg Triptych.

		Art for him did not consist in the search for the hidden laws of beauty - for him it could have only one aim, the aim of all religious art in the Middle Ages - that of providing a sermon in pictures, of proclaiming the sacred truths as taught by the Church.
		The central panel of the Isenheim altarpiece shows that he sacrificed all other considerations to this one overriding aim.
