Nosseni-Altar, Renaissance altar in Loschwitz Church, Dresden, Germany.
The Nosseni Altar stands eleven meters tall, constructed from marble, alabaster, and sandstone, featuring four Corinthian columns supporting a crucifixion scene.
Created in 1606 by Swiss sculptor Giovanni Maria Nosseni, the altar was damaged during the 1945 Dresden bombing and reconstructed from 350 pieces starting in 1998.
The three-tiered structure incorporates biblical inscriptions in gold letters on black marble, representing the artistic traditions of Electoral Saxony around 1600.
The altar resides in Loschwitz Church since 2002, where visitors can view it during regular church hours or scheduled guided tours.
The central section displays statues of John and Mary measuring 85 centimeters, while the upper tier presents a relief of Christ's Lamentation.
