Are altarpieces sculptures?
Altarpieces are not considered sculptures, but they may include sculptures, usually in combination with paintings. An altarpiece consists of one or more paintings or sculptures, or a combination of both, on one or more panels (two panels is a diptych, three is a triptych) in a frame. The paintings are painted on wood panels and any sculptures are usually made of wood. There may or may not be hinges so some of the panels can close, revealing other images on the backs of the closed panels. Altarpieces were designed to be placed first in front of, then later behind and above the altar in a church. They contain Christian religious imagery, usually stories from the Bible. Among the most well-regarded are: the Maesta Altarpiece (1308-1311, paintings only) by Duccio; the Ghent Altarpiece (1432, paintings only) by Jan van Eyck; the Portinari Altarpiece (1475, paintings only) by Hugo van der Goes; the St. Wolfgang Altarpiece (1471-1481, paintings & sculptures) by Michael Pacher; the Veit Stoss Altarpiece (1477-1489, primarily sculptures) by Veit Stoss; and the Isenheim Altarpiece (1512-1516, paintings & sculptures) by Mattias Grunewald.
