Circle of Luis de Morales (Badajoz, circa 1520-1586?)

The anonymous Spanish artist responsible for this work has absorbed both Flemish and Italian Mannerist influences, much like other artists active in southern Spain in the mid to late-sixteenth century, the best known of which is Luis de Morales. This portable triptych is replete with the original marbled finish on the socle and reverse of the wings and a coat-of-arms painted in the tabernacle. The inscription on the frieze appears to indicate the patron's name: 'ORA PRO NOBIS P ANTONI CONFESOR' (Pray for us sinners Antoni Confessor).
