An altar piece is a type of artwork that is typically found in churches or other religious buildings. It usually consists of a painting or sculpture depicting a religious scene, such as the Last Supper or Crucifixion, and are often used to focus the attention of worshippers during services and to provide visual reminders of faith and devotion and can also be used to decorate the interior of churches and other sacred spaces. Altar pieces have been around since ancient times, with some examples dating back to the 4th century BC. Throughout history, they have been created in various styles and materials, including wood, stone, metal and paint. Today, many modern artists continue to create altar pieces for both traditional settings as well as contemporary art galleries.
