About the Item
Large and architecturally structured frame from an altar retable, likely originating in 16th-century Italy made from pine and linden tree.
The composition features a tripartite layout, with the narrower side panels articulated by pilasters adorned with arabesque ornamentation. Seraphim appear on the bases, while the capitals display foliate carvings. The pilasters are topped with boldly profiled cornices, volutes, and projecting risalits. The innermost molding of the central segmental arch is decorated with a classical ribbon motif. This arch culminates in volutes that flow into a dentil frieze adorned with additional angel heads and foliage.
The reverse is limewashed and features two polychrome-painted angels in the upper corners: one holding the stone tablets, the other triumphantly raising a chalice. Oval impressions and traces of mounting suggest the presence of now-lost elements. Each side panel originally held four decorative inserts, and the upper section was once framed as well.
