The Retable of the High Altar is a significant work of Spanish Renaissance sculpture created by the Aragonese artist Damian Forment. This altarpiece, also known as an altarpiece retable, is a prime example of Forment's work and is considered one of the masterpieces of the Spanish Renaissance. Forment, who was active during the early 16th century, was heavily influenced by the Italian Renaissance, which is evident in the classical forms and the humanist themes present in his work.

The Retable of the High Altar was commissioned for the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza, Spain. It is made primarily of alabaster, a material that allows for intricate carving and was favored by Forment. The retable is adorned with a complex array of figures, including scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary and the Passion of Christ. Its central focus is a depiction of the Assumption of the Virgin, which is a common theme in Christian art and particularly venerated in the context of the Basilica, which is dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

Damian Forment's mastery of relief sculpture is evident in the Retable of the High Altar, where he demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of depth, perspective, and the human form. The work is characterized by its dynamic composition and the emotional expressiveness of the figures. The retable not only serves as a devotional object but also as a testament to the artistic and cultural exchanges between Spain and Italy during the Renaissance period.

The Retable of the High Altar remains an important cultural and religious artifact, reflecting the artistic achievements of its time and the devotion of the patrons who commissioned it. It continues to be a focal point for visitors to the Basilica and is an essential piece for the study of Renaissance art in Spain.
