Rogier van der Weyden and the kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula

  • Alternate title

    Rogier van der Weyden

Abstract

In 1445 John II of Castile donated a triptych by the artist to the Charterhouse of Miraflores, marking the start of an interest in the artist's work that would be continued by other Spanish monarchs. During the reign of Philip II other major paintings by his hand, notably the Descent from the Cross and the Crucifixion, were brought to Spain. These works, together with others painted for Portugal but now lost, had a marked influence on art in the kingdoms of Iberia.
