Description: Madrid: Museo Nacional del Prado, 2013. 30cm., pbk., 55pp. illus. Spanish text. Summary: The addition of this donation to the Museum’s holdings fill some of the gaps in this part of the Prado’s collection and enrich and complement other styles and artists already represented. As stipulated in the terms of the agreement, the works will be shown in a gallery named the Várez Fisa Gallery in acknowledgement of the donors’ generosity. This gallery will be located within the new display of Spanish painting from the Romanesque period to the Renaissance. The Museum’s Trustees have commissioned its design and installation from Rafael Moneo, the architect of the Prado’s extension and a Trustee of the Museum. Also on display in this space will be the Saint Christopher Altarpiece, donated by José Luis Várez Fisa in 1970, and Lluís Borrassá’s panel of Saint Andrew refuses to worship Idols, acquired by the Spanish State from the same collection. Particularly outstanding within this donation is the central panel of the altarpiece for the high altar of the church of Santa María in Tobed (Zaragoza), The Virgin of Tobed (ca.1359-1362). Attributed to Jaume Serra, it is an historically important work in addition to its aesthetic merit as the donor depicted is the future Henry II, who was the first Castilian monarch of the Trastamara dynasty and also acceded to the crown of Aragon in 1412.
