Altar Piece Antequera Archbishop Fernando Juan Predella Rodriguez Rojas Sancho Tempera Toledo Virgin 14th 15th Kneeled
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning altarpiece, created around 1410-1415, showcases the exquisite Gothic art of Juan Rodriguez de Toledo. The central predella of this masterpiece depicts the Virgin Mary, surrounded by intricate detail and radiant light, with Archbishop Don Sancho de Rojas and King Fernando I de Antequera kneeling in devotion at her feet. Don Sancho de Rojas, an important ecclesiastical figure of the time, is shown in full regalia, with his mitre and crozier, symbolizing his religious and secular authority. King Fernando I de Antequera, a prominent ruler of the Kingdom of Antequera, is also depicted in royal attire, further emphasizing the significance of these figures in the religious and political landscape of the era. The altarpiece, executed in tempera on wood, is a testament to the artistic skill and mastery of Juan Rodriguez de Toledo. The delicate use of light and shadow, the intricate details of the figures and their clothing, and the overall sense of harmony and balance all contribute to the beauty and power of this work. This altarpiece, now housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, is a prime example of the rich artistic heritage of the Iberian Peninsula during the late Gothic period. It not only reflects the artistic trends of the time but also the deep religious devotion and the complex political dynamics of the region.
