Sideboard and Painting at LACMA
This display is titled "Sideboard With Ceres and Bacchus," done in 1874 by German artist Anton Pössenbacher. So this is far from being Medieval, though definitely influenced by that era, as this celebrates pagan gods instead of the usual bread-and-butter works derived from the Bible. The description says:
"This monumental piece is the joint creation of Arnold Böcklin, an influential painter known for his innovative interpretations of classical mythology, and Anton Pössenbacher, cabinetmaker to the Bavarian court in Munich. Here Böcklin's Ceres, goddess of agriculture, and Bacchus, god of wine, offer an overflowing cornucopia and a bowl of wine. Exhibiting stylistic compositions reminiscent of the Renaissance, the painting is aptly paired with a Renaissance-revival-style sideboard, featuring elements from classical architecture."
