retables (altar appendage) (altarpieces, religious visual works, ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Refers to appendages placed on the mensa of an altar in a Christian church. A retable may consist of a simple shelf or ledge raised above the back of the altar and used to hold candles. It may also include an attached frame or structure enclosing painted or carved panels, with or without a shelf for candles, serving as an altarpiece. Smaller shelves are ledges are generally called "gradines," although usage overlaps. A "retable" is distinct from a 'reredos'; while the reredos typically rises from ground level behind the altar, the retable is smaller, standing either on the back of the altar itself or on a pedestal behind it. Many altars have both a reredos and a retable. For the smaller Mexican and Spanish American paintings of Christian saints and other holy figures, use 'retablos (panel painting).'

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Verwijst naar toevoegingen geplaatst op de altaartafel in een christelijke kerk. Een retabel kan bestaan uit een eenvoudige plank of rand die is aangebracht boven de achterkant van het altaar en die wordt gebruikt als kaarsenhouder. Er kan ook een raamwerk of een andere constructie aan verbonden zijn waarin beschilderde of beeldgesneden panelen zijn gemonteerd, met of zonder een plank voor kaarsen. Een 'reredos' is iets anders; deze verrijst meestal vanaf de grond achter het altaar. Het retabel is kleiner en staat achter op het altaar zelf of op een sokkel achter het altaar. Veel altaren hebben zowel een reredos als een retabel. Gebruik 'retablo's' voor de kleinere Mexicaanse en Spaans-Amerikaanse schilderingen van christelijke heiligen en andere heilige figuren. |
| German ..... Aufsatz, der an der Altarplatte eines Altars in einer christlichen Kirche platziert ist. Ein Retabel kann aus einem einfachen Brett oder einer Platte bestehen, über dem hinteren Teil des Altars errichtet sein und dazu benutzt werden, Kerzen zu halten. Es kann auch einen am Altar befestigten Rahmen oder Aufbau einschließen, der gemalte oder geschnitzte Tafeln umschließt, mit oder ohne Brett für Kerzen. Es ist von einer "Altarrückwand" zu unterscheiden; während sich die Altarrückwand gewöhnlich von der Bodenhöhe hinter dem Altar erhebt, ist das Retabel kleiner und steht entweder auf dem hinteren Teil des Altars selbst oder auf einem Sockel hinter ihm. Viele Altäre haben sowohl eine Altarrückwand als auch ein Retabel. Für die kleineren mexikanischen und spanisch-amerikanischen Gemälde von christlichen Heiligen und anderen heiligen Figuren siehe ["Retablo"](300262837). |
| Spanish ..... Se refiere a paneles pintados o esculpidos adosados a la parte posterior del altar cristiano. Para pintura mexicana y española americana de santos cristianos y otras figuras sagradas del catolicismo romano, use "retablo (hispanoamericano)." |
