The mural paintings from the Hermitage of the Vera Cruz de Maderuelo were transferred to canvas in 1947 and reconstructed at the Prado Museum in a layout as faithful to the original as possible. The walls of the chapel are decorated with figures of angels, Apostles and evangelical scenes, and the front bears two biblical themes. Dome, center: God the Father held by four angels (P07269, P07270). Le

This is a large gothic altarpiece. Its central panel depicts the Virgin with Child, and behind them, four angels hold the brocade backdrop while four others play musical instruments. Saint Benedict and Saint Bernard, both of the Bendictine order, stand protecting Archbishop Sancho de Rojas —on whom the Virgin is placing the miter— and King Fernando I of Aragon, who is being crowned by the Christ c
This triptych is the principal creation and the work that has given the name to an anonymous follower of Rogier van der Weyden, previously identified as Vrancke van der Stockt. When open the triptych shows the Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, the Crucifixion and the Last Judgment. The left panel shows the Expulsion from Paradise with various scenes alluding to the Creation in the arch´s orders.
This fragment of an altarpiece was attributed to the Hispano-Flemish painter Martín de Soria and more recently to Jaume Huguet. However, the evident Aragonese influence has led to an attribution to the so-called “Master of Saint George and the Princess”, a name deriving from the artist’s best-known panel, now in Barcelona (MNAC). The figure depicted here may be the prophet Daniel.
The Garden of Earthly Delights is Bosch’s most complex and enigmatic creation. For Falkenburg the overall theme of The Garden of Earthly Delights is the fate of humanity, as in The Haywain (P02052), although Bosch visualizes this concept very differently and in a much more explicit manner in the centre panel of that triptych than in The Garden of Earthly Delights. In order to analyse the work’s me
Bernardino Luini depicted this passage from the New Testament (Mark 6:27–28) several times. The version in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence is the closest to the one in the Museo del Prado. They differ solely in the fact that the Uffizi version includes a female servant alongside Salome. Although the Bible states that the Baptist’s head was shown to Salome on a dish or tray, 15th-century Flem
This is a painting of rather mediocre quality for which the artists drew on several ricordi from the stock at the family bottega. To cite an example, the horse and pair of dogs on the right specifically repeat the ones that appear in a similar position in Adam Being Reprimanded (P21). This juxtaposition of standardised models explains the obvious problems of scale in the depiction of the animals,
This is the right wing of the Genealogy of the Virgin altarpiece which the Count of Barajas donated to Philip II, according to the inventory of the Alcazar of Madrid of 1600. On the reverse, Saint Bernard of Siena appears in grisaille. The painter represents Zechariah, John the Baptist´s father, in an enclosed garden, employing the squat proportions which are characteristic of this word.
Dürer made this panel and its companion, Eve (P02178) upon returning from his second trip to Italy in 1505. Both works constitute an effort to synthesize what he had learned there, in search of a balance between Italian and Germanic approaches that would permit the ideal perfection of the human body. Thus, the choice of a biblical subject here is mere pretext. Dürer´s knowledge of the cl
Like the painting of Adam (P02177), represented on a separate panel, Eve´s unstable posture, her rhythmical movements and her affected gestures are sometimes interpreted as a return to earlier models of Gothic art, instead of what they really are, a foretaste of Mannerism. The solidity of the two bodies, Eve´s slightly Gothic curves -the prototype of a Germanic Venus- and Adam´s fascinated express
The author of this work has been identified as the painter of an Adoration of the Magi signed, apocryphally, Hericus Blesius Fecit (Munich, Alte Pinakothek). The Museo del Prado’s work presents the same subject on its central panel, while the lateral panels present Old-Testament scenes with King David and King Solomon. These two are considered prefigurations of Christ, which must have been the tri
Bosch thus shows how man, irrespective of his social class or place of origin, is so possessed by the desire to enjoy and acquire material possessions that he allows himself to be deceived or seduced by the Devil. Thus the artist proposes that we should renounce earthly goods and the delights of the senses in order to avoid eternal damnation. The painting offers an exemplum of a different type to
Seated on a throne, the Virgin holds the Christ Child in her lap. On the right, Saint Jerome dressed as a Cardinal reads the Vulgata (The Bible he, himself, translated into Latin). The Archangel Raphael, with the lion that symbolizes him, stands with Tobias, who holds the fish with which he will cure his father´s blindness. This work is known as The Virgin with a Fish, and was commissioned by Gero
This painter is one of the most outstanding and singular representatives of the early Renaissance in Palencia. While there are no extant documents to prove it, this work must somehow be connected with Juan de Flandes (doc. 1496-1519) during the time that he was working in Palencia (1509-1519). This is visible in the strong dependence of its figures on Flandes´s models, as well as the manner of dep
