Pintura tabular

En la pintura tabular predomina la influencia sajona. La aportación proncipal de esa época fue la fundación de las galerías nobles, por ejemplo la de Rozmberk en Cesky Krumlov, de Kolovrat en Rychnov nad Kneznou, de los nobles de Hradec en Jindrichuv Hradec, que fue relacionado con el desarollo de retratos.

Esgrafiado

Los maestros de Italia llevaron a los países checos una nueva técnica del esgrafiado, con la que adornaban las paredes exteriores de edificios. El esgrafiado consiguió una gran popularidad muy pronto como una sustitución más barata de la adoración plástica de paredes. Edificios decorados por esta técnica son por ejemplo Micovna en el jardín real en el Castillo de Praga, la casa de Monuta, en los palacios en Litomysl, Telc, Slavonice.

Pedro Berruguete (1450-1504)

Was a Spanish painter; his art is regarded as a transitional style between gothic and Renaissance. Berruguete painted famous paintings of the Inquisition. Born in Paredes de Nava, Spain, he went to Italy in 1480 and worked in Federico III da Montefeltro's court inUrbino, where he could see some works by Melozzo da Forlì. Here he painted the Portrait of Federico da Montefeltro with His Son Guidobaldo (c. 1475), now at the Galleria nazionale delle Marche.

He returned to Spain in 1482 and painted in several cities, such as Sevilla, Toledo and Ávila. He was the father of an important sculptor, Alonso Berruguete, considered the most important sculptor in Renaissance Spain.

Alonso González de Berruguete 


 (Paredes de Nava, Palencia, Spain, c.1490 — Toledo, Spain, 1561) He was a Spanish painter, sculptor and architect. He is considered to be the most important sculptor of the Spanish Renaissance, and is known for his emotive sculptures depicting religious ecstasy or torment.

 Berruguete studied art under the tutelage of his father, and afterwards he studied sculpture in Florence and Rome under the Italian master, Michelangelo.

His paintings produced in Italy showed a mannerist influence, with his art being compared with contemporaries such as Jacopo Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino.

He was appointed to the position of court painter and sculptor by Charles I of Spain. From this point in his career forward, Berruguete concentrated on sculpture. Some of his works were an altarpiece at the Irish college in Salamanca (1529–1533), choir stalls at the Cathedral of Toledo (1539–1543) and a tomb for the Archbishop of Toledo Juan de Tavera.

One of his greatest altarpieces was created for the Monastery of S. Benito in Valladolid, the home of his studio and palace as well. Fragments of the altarpiece are now in the Valladolid Museum. His other work under Charles I included much completed in the Palace of El Pardo and in the Alhambra. He also sculpted an altar and tomb in the church of Santa Engracia and several sculptures for the cathedral of Toledo. It was here and around other structures in Toledo that he produced some of his greatest sculpting in bronze and marble, even into old age. This was seen when he

completed, at the age of eighty, a monument in Toledo of the Cardinal Archbishop Juan de Tavera at the hospital of St. John the Baptist

Auto de FE:  was a public manifestation of the Inquisition. If the judgment of the Inquisition was condemnatory, it was implying that the reprobate had to take part in the ceremony like that so called, which was solemnizing his return to the bosom of the Church. The “auto de FE” might be private or public.

Inquisición:  The term Inquisition refers to several institutions dedicated to the suppression of the heresy for the most part in the bosom of the Catholic Church. The heresy in the medieval age often was punished by the death sentence, and from this one they all stem other. The medieval Inquisition was founded in 1184 in Languedoc's zone. To attack the heresy of the Cathars or albigenses, that in 1249 was implanted also in the kingdom of Aragon (it was the first state Inquisition) and that in the Modern Age, with the union of Aragon with Castile, was extended to this one by the name of Inquisition.
