This photograph, taken between 1869 and 1887, captures a detailed view of an elaborate altarpiece. The altarpiece, likely from the late Middle Ages, features a central niche framed by intricate Gothic tracery, housing an ivory statue of the Virgin Mary. The niche is flanked by painted panels depicting biblical scenes. This photograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the rich artistry and religious devotion of medieval Europe.
