Albasten retabel in Sint-Salvatorskathedraal te Brugge before 1889

This alabaster altarpiece is an example of Gothic art from before 1889. The altarpiece features a central scene of the Virgin Mary and Child, surrounded by a series of circular scenes depicting various events from the life of Christ. The altarpiece is made of alabaster, a type of white marble that was commonly used in medieval sculpture. The detailed carvings of the altarpiece would have been an impressive sight for its original audience and remains a beautiful example of religious art from the period. The altarpiece is part of the Saint Salvator Cathedral in Bruges, Belgium.
