Pair of niches. Carved pine wood. 17th century. Pair of altar fragments or niches made of carved pine wood that are decorated with a series of important, voluminous carvings with plant themes, scrolls, ropes, architectural details, cloths, etc., arranged symmetrically around the semicircular arch that acts as the central organizing element of the work and a shell located at the top. These types of pieces were used in the creation and construction of altars in churches, and it is possible that those with niches were in an altar notable for its size and the quality of its carving. It is possible to find certain similar details between this work and other Spanish works, such as, for example, the 18th century niche altarpiece of the Fundación Pintor Julio Visconti (Guadix, Spain), the altar of the Adoration of the Magi of the Church of the Monastery of Sancti Spiritus el Real (Zamora, Spain), elements of some altars of the Cathedral of Cuenca (especially part of the Main Altarpiece of the Main Sacristy), etc.
