Alonso Altar Piece Berruguete Bigarny Carving Chapel Conquest Felipe Flamboyant Granada Main Polychrome Renaissance Vigarny
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases the Main Altarpiece of the Royal Chapel in Granada, Spain, created by the renowned Alonso Berruguete and his son Felipe Bigarny or Vigarny between 1520 and 1522. The altarpiece, a masterpiece of both the Renaissance and Flamboyant Gothic styles, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Spain during the 16th century. The central scene of the altarpiece depicts the Conquest of Granada, a pivotal moment in Spanish history when the last Muslim kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula was conquered by the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, in 1492. Berruguete and Bigarny expertly captured the grandeur and drama of the event, with intricate polychrome carving on wood that brings the figures to life. The relief group, which spans over 12 feet in height, is a remarkable example of the artists' skill in manipulating wood to create a sense of depth and movement. The figures, including King Ferdinand, Queen Isabella, and the Christian soldiers, are depicted in dynamic poses, conveying the intensity and excitement of the moment. The altarpiece is a significant work in the history of Spanish art, showcasing the fusion of Gothic and Renaissance styles that would come to define the artistic landscape of the country. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and masterful carving make this a must-see for anyone interested in art history or the rich cultural heritage of Spain.
