Altar Wings of Roudníky are two surviving wings of late Gothic retable, which probably originated in one of Prague's contemporary workshops for village (Utraquist) parish church. The altar wings exhibited at the Hussite Museum in Tábor have the status of a national cultural monument.
Altar Wings of Roudníky are the two sides painted plates accrued before 1486. The wings were cut back and secondarily coated with baroque marbling, making reconversion survived the 17th and 18th centuries, since the inside of the right wing is the oldest depiction of the burning of Jan Hus depicted in the Czech Gothic panel painting. It is believed to be a fragment of an altarpiece, which has not survived. The anonymous painter portrayed "Crucifixion" and "The Last Supper", possibly in monstrance with the body of the Lord. Due to the fact that both wing plates are shown, it is assumed that the patron was Jakoubek of Vřesovice, a Hussite captain, from Roudníky, and his son John.
