Route through the Plateresque altarpieces in the east of the province of Leon - CISTIERNA - Church of Christ the King
This Renaissance altarpiece, from the church of Vera Cruz in Valderas and made during the second third of the 16th century, is composed of gilded, polychrome masonry richly decorated with grotesques and candelieri motifs. Through a succession of pilasters and entablatures, the whole is organized into four sections of three sections. Only the central section of the second section houses a rounded image of the Virgin and Child , while the rest are taken up by pictorial panels in which, above a group of six apostles that make up the lower floor, episodes from the cycles of the Infancy of Jesus and the Virgin Mary are narrated, as well as a group of three panels on the upper floor with images of the Passion.
