Early Altarpieces (12th-early 15th century) - A presentation of sacred art |
|
| Élément central du décor du culte chrétien, le retable n’est pourtant apparu qu’au XIIe siècle. |
|
|
|
|
Although central to Christian liturgical decoration, altarpieces did not emerge until the 12th century.
|
|
|
The exhibition recalls the origins of the genre and follows its evolution up to the early 15th century, when altarpieces assumed their more familiar forms.
