The row of lamenting women on the ceiling of the tomb, now in Barcelona, of Sancho Saiz Carillo, a nobleman from Burgos, is Gothic only in that the figures are positioned in rows and overlap. The posture and gestures, even the physiognomies, are borrowed from a largely traditional style that still clearly bears signs of the Romanesque. The work's firm lines make it a particularly bold exmple of the Linear Style, which dominated Spanish painting in the years between 1290 and 1350. ## Related artworks - [Altar frontal]() - [Christ and the Twelve Apostles \(detail\)]() - [Christ and the Twelve Apostles]() - [Christ in Majesty and Apostles]() - [Coronation of Mary]() - [Crucifix]() - [Enthroned Madonna and Child]() - [Nativity]() - [Scenes from the Life of Jesus]() - [St Anne with the Virgin and the Child]() - [Tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carillo \(detail\)]() - [Tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carillo \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
