COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
The Hispano-Flemish style of the mid-15th century became official under the Catholic Kings. Therefore the art of the late 15th and early 16th centuries is called Isabelline stylelate Gothic architectural and decorative style in Spain during the second half of the 15th century (named after the Spanish Queen Isabella I). or, more accurately, the Style of the catholic Kings. The Cartuja de Miraflores near Burgos represents this style. The building was intended as a resting place for Juan II and his wife, Isabella of Portugal. It is an aisleless, exquisitely furnished interior designed by Juan de Colonia and his son Simón. Gil de Siloé created the unique sculptural furnishings.
The picture shows the interior looking toward the retableOrnamental panel behind an altar and, in the more limited sense, the shelf behind an altar on which are placed the crucifix, candlesticks, and other liturgical objects. The panel is usually made of wood or stone, though sometimes of metal, and is decorated with paintings, statues, or mosaics depicting the Crucifixion or a similar subject. Although frequently forming part of the architectural structure of the church, especially in the High Gothic period, retables can be detached and, sometimes, as in the case of the famous retable by Hubert and Jan van Eyck, "The Adoration of the Lamb" (1432, Cathedral of Saint-Bavon, Ghent), consist merely of a painting. Probably the most well-known retable is that in the Basilica of St Mark in Venice, which is one of the most remarkable examples in existence of the craft of the jeweler and goldsmith. Originally commissioned in 976, the St. Mark's retable was enlarged and enriched in the 13th century. With the development of freestanding altars, retables have become extinct. by Diego de Siloé.
