This media file displays two alabaster altarpieces, likely religious in nature, displayed within dark frames against a muted, textured wall. The altarpieces are intricately carved, depicting multiple figures in various states of repose and reverence. The upper altarpiece features figures with their hands clasped in prayer, set against a background that suggests an architectural element, possibly a tomb or altar. The lower altarpiece also shows several figures, one appearing to be cradling another, with similar devotional poses. The carvings exhibit remnants of paint, with muted tones of cream, brown, and hints of red and green, suggesting age and historical significance. Visible text accompanying the altarpieces provides contextual information. The Spanish text, "Retablo de Cartagena," and the English text, "Altarpiece from Cartagena," clearly identify the origin of the pieces. Further text details the material as "Alabaster," the style as "Gothic," and the period as "15th century." It also indicates the location as "Santa María la Vieja (Cartagena, Murcia)" and provides historical context about English alabaster production during the 14th and early 16th centuries, highlighting the common themes of Christological and Marian scenes. The overall presentation suggests an exhibition in a museum, with the muted lighting and display frames designed to highlight the delicate carvings. The scene evokes a sense of history and religious devotion. in Madrid, Spain
