Escultura castellana del Renacimiento y Barroco en el Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya

Abstract

In the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC) in Barcelona there is a collection of some 500 works of sculpture dating from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, few of them on public display. Thus this collection is not well known, even among art historians. Given the lack of a complete catalogue of these works, the purpose of this article is to present a selection of sculptures in the MNAC, all of great artistic interest, the majority of them unpublished. They are nine in all: attributed to Flemish importation, to the circle of Felipe Bigarny, to a collaborator of Diego de Siloe, to Jeronimo Hernandez, to the studio of Juan de Anchieta, to a follower of Juan de Juni, to Manuel Pereira, to a disciple of Gregorio Fernandez and to a follower of Luis Salvador Carmona.
