Abstract


The discovery of the lawsuit between the sculptor P. López de Gámiz and the Constable of Castile for the valuation of the main altarpiece of Santa Clara de Briviesca, has allowed for the clarification of the long working process involved in its creation as well as the identification of most of the craftsmen involved in the project. Following Juni’s criticism of the architecture and composition of the structure, old resentments toward this French sculptor resurfaced. Lastly, Anchieta’s decisive participation in the Briviesca workshop is definitively clarified, along with abundant evidence concerning his fame and ability.
