## Commentary

Alonso Berruguete, eldest son of the painter Pedro, created an important workshop in Valladolid with a number of assistants. The altar for San Benito in Valladolid was commissioned in 1526 and completed in 1532. It was later dismantled and has been partially reassembled in the Museum. The polychromed wood altarpiece was conceived as a drama, and Berruguete&#39;s talent reveals itself as pictorial rather than sculptural.
