[Altars] 1735 - 1745

“[Altars]” is a 1735-1745 work by German sculptor and woodcarver Joseph Anton Feuchtmayer. While the artwork is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the image provided is a photograph of the back of the work and does not show the altarpiece itself. This particular piece is smaller than Feuchtmayer's typical altarpiece, measuring only 16 3/4 x 10 1/4 x 1/16 in. (42.5 x 26 x 0.2 cm). This piece provides a fascinating insight into the process and craftsmanship behind his creations.
