Retablistas barrocos foráneos en Sangüesa

Abstract

In the last decades of the 17th century and in the first third of the 18th century, seven baroque altarpieces, built in Sangüesa (Navarra) for the parochial and conventual churches, were the work of foreign artists. In those times, local workshops, which had been very important in previous eras, were passing through a moment of decadence. The present study provides data on the notary contracts for the accomplishment of these works and some data on their authors: Juan de Eguílaz, from Tafalla (Navarra), Juan Antonio Navarro, from Uncastillo (Zaragoza) and Pedro Onofre Coll, who had been born in Majorca, but who lived in Calatayud (Zaragoza).
