Documents studied here and the analysis of the work demonstrate that the main altarpiece of Santa Isabel de los Reyes is one of the most outstanding examples of Toledan 16th-century sculpture. Commissioned in 1570, it was completed by 1572, according to the inscription on the altarpiece, which until now has remained anonymous. The discovery of two payment orders demonstrate that it was created by the architect and sculptor Juan Bautista Monegro, the woodcarver Andrés Sánchez and the painter-gilders Juan Sánchez Dávila and Pedro de Cisneros el Mozo, to whose respective catalogues this work should be added, particularly that of Juan Bautista Monegro. From the formal and stylistic point of view, the reliefs and statues by Monegro can be related to the best classicism of the Leoni.
