Sculptural detail, Main altarpiece, Sacra Capilla

Detail of an apostle from the Transfiguration of Christ, from the main altarpiece, c. 1560, by Alonso Berruguete, 1490-1561, in Spanish Renaissance style, at the Sacra Capilla del Salvador, or Sacred Chapel of the Saviour, designed by Diego de Siloe and Andres de Vandelvira and built for Francisco de los Cobos in 1536 in Spanish Renaissance style and consecrated in 1559, on the Plaza Vazquez de Molina, in Ubeda, Jaen, Andalusia, Spain. The original was destroyed in the Spanish Civil War (only the central Christ was saved) and it was restored by Juan Luis Vassal. The Renaissance buildings of Ubeda and Baeza are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
