Abstract


Juan de Pitano y Bolívar is one of the most important silversmiths of the second half of the 16th century in Vitoria. He was the successor to one of Vitoria's oldest silversmiths which had its origins in the previous century. Here we provide a biography of the man and present ten pieces of his work in which we are able to appreciated their quality together with the artistic techniques employed. All of the pieces bear his mark: PI/TANO. He was a master of his art and participated in all three of the styles which dominated the art of the silversmith in the 16th century: Gothic, Renaissance and Mannerism.
