Abstract
Study on the Chapel of Christ at the Monastery of Descalzas Reales [Royal Barefoot] in Madrid analyzing its history and its decorative and figurative morphology. The circumstances of origin of this institution explain the liturgical meaning and function of this chapel as a stage for the particular ceremonies of Good Friday and Easter Sunday in this monastery; in the same way, the execution of the work in 1560-1565 ca. by artists of the royal service. New documental evidence is provided about Diego de Urbina and Juan de Cerecedo as painters for Juana de Austria at that moment.Downloads
