Route through the Plateresque altarpieces in the east of the province of Leon - YUGUEROS - Church of San Salvador
The main altarpiece, in the Renaissance style, was completed in 1553, as indicated by the cartouche located on the tympanum of the triangular pediment that crowns the complex. It consists of two first sections of five sections and an upper section of three sections, connected to the previous sections by small wings ending in hybrid figures.
Within the masonry, the variety of grotesque motifs incorporated into the pilasters and friezes of the entablatures stands out, while the central street of the first bodies contains a tabernacle and a sculpture of the Trinity .
The side streets contain a set of oil paintings on panel focused mainly on episodes from the cycles of the Childhood of Jesus , the Glory of Christ and scenes from the life of Mary that culminate with the representation of the Ascension of Christ .
