La Capilla de Gonzalo de Illescas en el Monasterio de Guadalupe: un proyecto de Egas Cueman recuperado

With this study the author aims to recover a forgotten project by Egas Cueman: the funerary Chapel of Gonzalo de Illescas. Aside from the famous and already studied sepulchre of the prelate, the chapel should be considered an example of the most advanced art of the mid-15th century, heretofore not properly assessed. Thus the controversial initial plan of the Bishop of Cordoba is re-examined, thereby demonstrating that the project for the chapel was far more ambitious than previously thought. Now the new the attribution of the entire project to Egas Cueman reinforces the hypothesis of his early knowledge of Rogier van der Weyden’s workshop. Furthermore, this research provides new data concerning the introduction and diffusion of the Flemish style in the Iberian Peninsula during the second half of the 15th century
