The late Gothic mural painting in the province of Valladolid: The church of Saint Bartholomew of Fompedraza

Abstract

Through this article about the mural paintings of the church of Saint Bartholomew of Fompedraza, which is located in the east of the province of Valladolid, I not only aim to make known a mural painting discovered in the front wall of the chapel and recently restored, but also to demonstrate their uniqueness, which is shown in the extensive iconographic program that has been represented due to the different scenes related to the hagiography of three saints (Saint Bartholomew, Saint Lucy and Saint Anthony Abbot). Thus, similar to the triple Aragonese altarpieces advocation, each narrative cycle, with their corresponding events, is organized by following the structure of an altarpiece.
