Altar and Reredos in Chapel of Grace, Grace Cathedral, San Francisco
(11 1/16" x 19 5/16")
The late 15th century French chapel altar supports an altarpiece (not a reredos) of ca. 1520, made in Antwerp for Hambye Abbey in northern France. The original altarpiece had five panels. A DeRosen wall mural and a carved canopy complete the group. Adams captured the sumptuousness of the liturgical ensemble.
