Abstract

Altarpieces are little religious images made to thank a divinity for a miracle that happened, for example, an ill person getting healthy, the well-being of a family or a journey made without hardships, and, also, we find those that make reference to believers with homosexual preferences, which will be analyzed historically in this article in two temporalities: from 1957 to 1960 and from 1975 to 2001.
