Burgos. Cartuja de Miraflores

Royal tomb of Prince Alfonso.Gil de Siloe.1489-1493.
Late Gothic sarcophagus carved in alabaster and placed within a niche on the north side of the church. The figurative motifs are superb quality and allude to the redemption of the soul. The typology used here of the kneeling figure would influence other artists throughout Castile.

It's a wonder the alabaster still holds the details after such a long time. Very well done, Jose. Vote.
