English: Altarpieces are architectured altarpieces (imitating, in general, the facade of an ancient temple) overhanging or encompassing an altar decoration generally matching (when it is original), that is to say, by building a dedicated location at this altar; the altarpiece can be presented alone when the matching altar has disappeared. They present one or more niches sheltering painting, statue, or relief. Generally from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
