• W2034265142 abstract "Bertomeu Coscollà and Valencia Cathedral’s Main Altar:New documents Joan Aliaga Morell and Nuria Ramón Marqués In the early nineties, the Polytechnic University of Valencia research team at the Centre d’Investigació Medieval i Moderna - CIMM, began research on the Valencian archives seeking documents that provided new information on painting and painters in the late Middle Ages in the region of Valencia. Initial surveys of notarial records, libros de justicia civil, records of building expenses (libros de fábrica), municipal documents, among others, provided new information not only on artists, but also illuminators, master builders, weavers, sacred image makers and especially silversmiths. Although references to silversmiths are not comparable to the number [End Page 15] of painters documented, their importance is clear from the volume of documentation in the form of payments, contracts or obligations concerning their work. Scientific historiography on medieval silversmithing in Valencia is scarce. The names of the great masters with impact beyond the territory have not been updated or valued in recent decades, with one or two exceptions. The contributions of Sanchis Sivera, canon of Valencia cathedral, in the form of some papers in the early twentieth century, provided information on the protagonists and provided the basis for advancing knowledge of silversmithing.1 In the mid twentieth century, the historian, Félix Duran Cañameres, also made noteworthy contributions on Valencian silverwork in the Realm of Aragon. In 1973, the exhibition El siglo XV valenciano opened a door to the study of this subject and, in 1982, another exhibition entitled Orfebrería y sedas valencianas curated by Miguel Ángel Catalá Gorgues provided a more accessible approach. The current state of our knowledge of the subject is based on studies by Núria Dalmases, a scientific authority in this field with many publications on medieval silver work in the Valencia region. Catalina Martín Lloris has also contributed several papers updating the subject.2 The present work focuses on documentary evidence from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries dealing with the construction of the silver altarpiece for Valencia cathedral devoted to the Virgin Mary as well as the decoration of the main chapel. It is, without doubt, the most important and ambitious artistic ensemble undertaken in the kingdom of Valencia during the Gothic period, in which generations of silversmiths, embroiderers, sculptors, carpenters and painters took part over a period of almost one hundred years. In the Late Middle Ages, silversmiths had a higher status in society than painters because the material value of the precious metal objects they produced were held in greater esteem than altarpieces, tapestries or carvings. For a long time the cathedral’s Chapter had to face numerous unforeseen [End Page 16] expenses caused by such a monumental and expensive work. It therefore had to rely on donations, loans and even recycling of old pieces of silver in order to produce the new coveted altarpiece. The appendix bellow offers a selection of mostly unpublished documents, with their corresponding transcriptions, from the long period it took to make the altarpiece and the paintings in the main chapel of Valencia Cathedral. The information provides brief snapshots of some of the difficulties facing the promoters and builders of this great work in the heart of the kingdom’s major city. Silversmiths were very important in the artistic world of Valencia and the ancient Realm of Aragon, as can be seen from the quality of the conserved works that show the splendour of Valencian silverwork in the Gothic period. The ephemeral nature of the works makes in-depth study difficult. It is also difficult to relate the works to their authors because the known documents do not always coincide. Despite these drawbacks, Valencian silverwork undoubtedly flourished from the late-fourteenth century until the mid-fifteenth century, coinciding with the reign of Martin the Humane (1396-1410) and Alfonso V the Magnanimous (1416-1458). Both monarchs became the main contractors for highly valuable works made by artists from all over Europe. The documentation shows a large number of master craftsmen working for the kings on a wide variety of works for use in private and public functions. Prominent individuals also had highly esteemed pieces of silverwork as..." @default.
