Abstract

The article analyses donators’ images in the pictorial and sculptural Spanish reredos of the XIV-XVI centuries, which have not previously attracted domestic researchers’ attention. The evolution of donators’ iconography includes enlargement of figures and concretization of their portrait features, transfer of these images from central panel to predella with subsequent separation from the reredos ensemble in the form of statues in chapels - burial vaults under the influence of tomb sculpture. Costume and heraldic signs are the attributes representing the owner’s social status and personality.
