This is a close-up of a Baroque marble altarpiece in St. Jacob's Church in Antwerp.
The late Gothic St. James's Church is known for its rich interior, including elaborate Baroque furnishings.The altarpiece depicts a central figure, probably St. James, surrounded by
putti (cherubs). The church is a traditional departure point for pilgrims traveling to Santiago
de Compostela.Details such as the golden halo behind the central figure's head emphasize
the Baroque style.
