PINACOTECA GOTICA X

Altarpiece of Saint John and Saint Margaret of Antioquia

Altarpiece worked in a single piece, by an anonymous author, painted in tempera on pine wood and with pastillaje reliefs. It shows the moment of transition between the end of linear Gothic and the arrival of Italianism, around 1350. The central compartments are dedicated to the titular saints: Saint John the Baptist and Saint Margaret of Antioch. The altarpiece is presided over by a Calvary. On the left are three episodes from the life of Saint John and on the right, as many from the life of Saint Margaret. From the old church of Alcover.
