wing of the altar

The door in the wing of the altar area opened, and a man in uniform strode across the red carpet.

Beyond the table, in the wing of the altar area, stood two armed MPs at parade rest.

To the rear wings of the altar are the passages leading to the two separate hexagonal rear rooms.

The left wing of the altar depicts, among other people, her great-uncle, the blessed Bernard II, who was famous for his pious life and was beatified in the 18th century.

The master acquired his pseudonym from the panels he painted for the outer wings of the altar to Mary in the brick gothic cathedral of Saint John in Malchin.

In 1553 Bronzino made a replica for the chapel of Eleanora of Toledo and replaced the original wings of the altar depicting St John the Baptist (right wing) and St Cosmas (left wing) by side panels depicting the Annunciation.

These paintings are similar in style to works by Master Francke, and were at first associated with the outer wings of the altar of Saint George in Wismar, and also with fragments of a crucifixion altar from St. Mary's Church in Rostock.
