This Baroque altar, created by Johann Georg Pinzel in 1755, features a central sculpture of St. John Nepomuk. Surrounding the saint are cherubs and angels, their delicate forms contrasting with the dramatic curves of the gilded frame. The piece's intricate details and expressive figures reflect Pinzel's masterful skill in woodcarving, a hallmark of the Rococo era. This ornate altar, likely intended for a church, is a stunning example of religious art that captures the beauty and drama of the Baroque style.
