Abstract: The liturgical renewal that occurred throughout the Catholic world in the 17th and 18th centuries brought about significant transformations in various facilities and dedicated spaces. As seen in other religious orders, these changes played a unique role in the places of worship belonging to the Benedictine order. The high choir, in particular, emerged as a privileged space for prayer, gaining even greater significance amid the Catholic Reformation. To foster the devotion of the Benedictine monks, the high choir of Tibães was adorned with a remarkable set of sculpted panels at the back of the armchair.Therefore, in this article, in addition to exploring the iconography of the panels in the high choir of the church of Tibães, we assume as our main objective the analysis of the process by which they were commissioned and the possible authorship associated with this equipment.
