EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning polychromed wood relief, created by the renowned Spanish architect and sculptor Felipe Bigarny in the early 16th century, depicts the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, in the main altarpiece of the Royal Chapel in the Cathedral of Granada, Spain. The relief, dating from 1520-1522, showcases the powerful and influential couple, who were also first cousins, as they are depicted in regal attire, with Isabella holding a scepter and Ferdinand holding a globe. The intricate detail of the relief, which is characteristic of Bigarny's Burgundian origin, highlights the grandeur and importance of the monarchs, who ruled during the latter part of the 15th and early 16th centuries. The relief is a testament to the rich history and artistic heritage of Andalusia and the House of Trastamara, which was a significant dynasty during the modern age of Spain. The Catholic Monarchs are celebrated for their role in the unification of Spain and the promotion of Catholicism as the dominant religion in the kingdoms under their rule. This masterpiece of architecture and art continues to captivate visitors to the Royal Chapel in Granada and serves as a reminder of the historical significance of Isabella and Ferdinand in Spanish history.
