Tabernacle House Altar with the Adoration of the Shepherds, the Adoration of the Magi, and the Annunciation. 1550 - 1890

This small, ornately carved tabernacle house altar, made by Reinhold Vasters in the late 19th century, features three scenes from the life of Christ: the Adoration of the Shepherds, the Adoration of the Magi, and the Annunciation. The scenes are set within a decorative frame of dark wood accented by gilded details and silver-leaf. The altar is typical of late 19th century religious art, blending historical motifs with modern craftsmanship. This piece showcases Vasters' ability to combine traditional religious subject matter with contemporary styles in a decorative and intricate way.
