Description:
|
Desiderio's tabernacle combines an illusionistic perspective relief, forming a frame for the cupboard at center, holding consecrated bread, with sculpture in the round. There are two flanking young girls holding candlesticks, and on a lunette top, two putti adore the Christ Child, who stands on a Communion chalice and holds a rose with thorns. At the base are two flanking vertical decorative panels and a central panel of the Lamentation with Mary, Christ and St. John Evangelist. (Source: Web Gallery of Art; http://www.wga.hu/index.html)
