Photographer’s Note
The Retablo is a 17th century gilded black walnut Spanish Baroque retablo, the Spanish word for "retabl". A retablo is a shelf raised above the back of the altar to support ornaments, pictues and statues from sacred history.
The ornate woodwork can be traced to 1687 when Domingo Angel a wealthy Burgos silk-manufacturer had it installed in the chapel attached to the Congregation of Saint Philip Neri at Ezcaray, Spain
