The Rise of Puente Genil, work of Alonso de Mena y Escalante
Journal Title: UcoArte. Revista de Teoría e Historia del Arte - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The sculpture of Christ resurrected found in Puente Genil, Córdoba has for a long time been thought to be the work of the sculptor Alonso de Mena y Escalante from Granada. Previously unseen documents have now been discovered that show that the piece was originally commissioned to the painter Alonso de Gálvez from Écija, Seville and that he in turn commissioned the piece to Alonso de Mena y Escalante and then later Gálvez made his polychrome in 1636. This artistic exchange could also be behind other sculptures in Écija that have been attributed to Alonso de Mena y Escalante.
