Saviour

Ca. 1520. Oil on panel.
Room 052C

This remarkable devotional image corresponds to the model of the Saviour followed by ‘Los Hernandos’, aligned with Christological referents whose roots lie in Leonardo. In particular, the face of Christ with long hair falling over his shoulders is characteristic of Yáñez, a painter of greater personality than Llanos in his reinterpretations of Italian models.
