The paintings of the main altables of the Church of the Real Hospital de San Lázaro de Sevilla

Abstract

The brief study that we present is part of an ongoing work on the history, architecture and artistic heritage of the Real Hospital de San Lázaro in Seville, the oldest in the city and the first and only one with a royal foundation, which maintains its function care until today. We present what is known so far about the paintings made in 1553 by the masters Pedro de Villegas Marmolejo and Juan Chacón for the main altarpiece of the church, some of which have remained in a later Baroque style altarpiece. Fortunately, the pictorial set is being restored at the Andalusian Institute of Historical Heritage (IAPH)
