In the second phase, the sculpture of the Counter-Reformation period, a change in the concept of the religious image and its functionderiving from the Council of Trento can be appreciated. A peak of this sculpture school takes place at this time and Navarra is going to become the difusion center of the Romanism throughout La Rioja, Aragon and the Basque Country
