1. Isidore of Sevilla: A Gothic Masterpiece of the Flemish School Isidore of Sevilla, Saint (560-636), is depicted in this stunning detail from the right panel of the Chancellor Sánchez de Logroño's altarpiece, created around 1480-1490. The altarpiece, a prime example of Flemish Gothic art, is currently housed in the National Museum of Sculpture in Valladolid, Spain. Isidore, a Doctor of the Church and the renowned bishop of Sevilla, is captured in this vertical, upright portrait. His somber expression and the rich, vibrant colors used in the painting convey a sense of wisdom and piety. The intricate details of his ecclesiastical attire, including the mitre and the episcopal ring, further emphasize his religious and ecclesiastical authority. The Flemish School, known for its meticulous attention to detail and realistic representation, is evident in the rendering of Isidore's face and the textures of his clothing. The use of oil on wood as the medium adds depth and luminosity to the painting, making Isidore's portrait a captivating work of art. Isidore of Sevilla was a significant figure in European history, particularly in the Iberian Peninsula. He was a prolific writer, scholar, and theologian, whose works influenced the development of Western thought and European culture. His legacy continues to be celebrated in Spain, where he is revered as a national hero and a symbol of learning and spirituality. This detail from the Chancellor Sánchez de Logroño's altarpiece is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of Isidore of Sevilla and the rich cultural heritage of the Flemish School and the Gothic tradition.
