The Altarpiece of Alonso de Sedano

Monument · Montenegro de Cameros, Pinares, Soria

Image of Montenegro de Cameros, not of the place itself.

The parish church of Montenegro de Cameros, dedicated to the Assumption of Mary, preserves an altarpiece with paintings attributed to Alonso de Sedano, a Castilian painter active between the late 15th century and the first quarter of the 16th, whose career unfolded mainly in Burgos. It is the Retablo de la Vida de la Virgen, dated to around 1510, one of the master's documented works. Its style, of Hispano-Flemish Gothic roots, shows the taste for detail and anecdotal scenes typical of that tradition together with influences from the Italian Renaissance, visible in the use of perspective and in the interior architectures depicted.
