One section of this work shows the crest of its artist's patron, Guido Guersi, on a rock. That section also shows a deer next to two men, who is dressed in palm tree leaves. Desiderius Beichel carved its base, which shows the Last Supper. This work also shows angels playing instruments under a baldachin next to a scene where a black-clad Mary turns away from the angel Gabriel. Soldiers look away from Christ, who is surrounded by a (*) ball of light, in this painting's depiction of the Resurrection. Another part of it shows a creature pulling the hair of St. Anthony as he is being attacked by other bird-like demons. This work's central scene is flanked by depictions of Saint Anthony and Saint Sebastian and shows a particularly gruesome Crucifixion, alluding to the fact that it was created for a monastery which sheltered plague sufferers. For 10 points, name this altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald.
