About the Item
15th century period Gothic Tabernacle, extremely rare (Medieval) architectural religious art, museum quality ecclesiastical altar piece.
This is an absolutely stunning circa 1450 original Medieval masterpiece tabernacle, a liturgical furnishing used to house the Eucharist. It is constructed of hand carved wood and decorated in Fine polychrome and gilt work. Executed in egg tempura, the back bottom and side panels are painted with flower design and embellished with animals and birds. This altarpiece demonstrates all of the German riches of architectural design in the high Gothic of the 15th century. The perfectly carved pinnacles, pointed arch and elaborate ornamentation show the highest level of workmanship. The complexity, scale and overall quality of this altar is unsurpassed. The Coat of Arms, carved and painted on this piece suggest it was a generous gift from a noble and possible royal family to the church. The two carved figures of a King and a Peasant make us aware of the humble equality symbolic in the Eucharist. This tabernacle was created and used in a church before the birth of Michelangelo and before the Reformation by Martin Luther. Wars and the Reformation itself saw the destruction of much of the religious art. It is amazing that this 15th century tabernacle from the Northern part of Germany survived in this war torn country for more than 500 years. This splendid example of ecclesiastical art is a representation of pure high Gothic.

17th Century Early Baroque Flemish Wood Carved Religious Figural Group
Located in Vero Beach, FL
This rare 17th century panel, carved in high relief, is museum quality and without doubt the work of an important Flemish master carver. It represents the biblical scene of Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem for the census. Multiple figures surround the center in a well balanced setting. Rich, deep color and great patina, which developed over about 400 years, make this piece of art exceptional. The panel is mounted on a later dusty rose velvet backing.
Condition: Small part of backdrop on right is missing. Joseph’s left hand is missing.
