Altar mit der Schönen Maria von Regensburg und den Heiligen Christophorus, Maria Magdalena, Florian und Katharina, darüber Gottvater

Albrecht Altdorfer, um 1520

This is a drawing of an ornate religious altar. The drawing features a central figure that appears to be of religious significance, surrounded by smaller angelic figures. This central character is framed within a grand, architecturally detailed altar structure complete with arches, columns, and intricate decorative elements including floral motifs and geometric patterns. On either side of the central figure, at different levels, are additional figures that seem to be seated or standing within niches, each of them surrounded by distinctive arch designs. The architectural design is highly symmetrical, showcasing classical elements such as pediments and detailed cornices along with elaborate ornamentation.
