Retable, Renaissance altarpiece in Baume-les-Messieurs Abbey, France
The Baume-les-Messieurs altarpiece measures among the largest Antwerpian triptychs from the 1530s, featuring detailed carved religious scenes and painted panels.
The earliest record of this altarpiece dates from 1702, mentioning it as a gift from the University of Ghent to Abbot Guillaume de Poupet.
The triptych displays multiple scenes from Jesus's life, including the Nativity, Crucifixion, and Resurrection, with references to the Old Testament.
Visitors can view the altarpiece through guided tours from April to September, with tours available in French, English, German, and Dutch.
The altarpiece retains most of its original sculptured figures, making it one of the best-preserved examples of Flemish religious art from its period.
