This image depicts an ornate Baroque or Rococo side altar located within the Iglesia de San Nicolás de Bari y San Pedro Mártir in Valencia, Spain. The central feature is a gilded statue of Saint Joseph holding the Christ Child, positioned within an arched, radiating golden niche. Saint Joseph, depicted with a halo and flowing robes, supports the haloed Christ Child in his left arm. The statue stands on a white and green marble-effect pedestal adorned with sculpted cherubs emerging from clouds. Flanking the central niche are two pairs of reddish-brown fluted columns with elaborate gold Corinthian capitals and bases. The background and sections between the columns consist of dark green marble-like panels embellished with vertical gold lines and medallions. Two multi-tiered crystal chandeliers hang from the outer columns. On the altar table, two tall, ornate gold candelabra are visible, positioned symmetrically on either side of the Saint Joseph statue, with no candles present. Above the columns and niche, an elaborate entablature features a dark green frieze with gold detailing, topped by a white and gold sculpted cornice. A semicircular arch, richly decorated with gold leaf and relief work, rises above this entablature. This arch incorporates a central cartouche with an emblem, flanked by two reclining winged angelic figures. The upper portion of a large fresco, depicting figures in reddish and darker tones, is visible above the arch in the background. The surrounding wall space is a plain, light-colored paneling. No individuals are present in the frame, and the scene is static.
