The secrets of the altarpiece

One part of the ancient altarpiece of Ciudad Rodrigo, situated in Salamanca, is conserved today In the Art Museum of University of Arizona in Tucson. Last spring, The Meadows Museum of Dallas (Texas) presented the exhibition Fernando Gallego and his studio: The altarpiece of Ciudad Rodrigo. For that sample, the work of Fernando Gallego, the master Bartolomé and his studios, was restored and analyzed. After five years of investigation, it is possible to specify not only the date of its execution, but also the authorship of each of the paintings. The director of the Meadow Museum, Mark A. Roglán, analyzes the conclusions and the secrets that one of the most beautiful altarpieces of the Spanish Renaissance hides.
