The main altarpiece of the church of San Andrés de Valdescapa, made around the middle of the 16th century, is a magnificent example of the mark that the master Juan de Juni left on Leonese lands, especially from some of his collaborators, such as the master Frenchman Guillén Doncel, to whom the sculptural work of this group has traditionally been attributed.

It is structured in three bodies of increasing size and five streets. The central, larger one, which housed the tabernacle on the lower floor – now disappeared – contains the images of Saint Andrew, in the second body, and of the Assumption of the Virgin , in the third. This, in turn, is topped with a triangular pediment with the image of God the Father and, at the top, with a bulk image of Christ Crucified . The side streets, for their part, make up a set of brush stories that collect passages from the Passion cycle, the hagiography of the titular saint and the Infancy of Jesus cycle, which have been attributed to the painter Francisco de Villamuño. Restored in 2011.
