Burgos - Cathedral - Chapel of the Condestables Tomb

            The Chapel of the Constables of Castile, also called the Purification Chapel, was commissioned by the constables, Don Pedro Fernandez (d1492) and his wife, Doña Mencia de Mendoza (d 1500), for their family pantheon in the cathedral of Burgos. It was developed by architect Simon de Colonia between 1482 and 1517 in late Gothic style, with the collaboration of sculptors Diego and Gil de Siloé and Felipe Vigarny. The latter sculpted the figures on the tomb in 1534.

I make no apologies for the number of shots taken of this tomb. The quality of the sculpting is superb. It reminds me very much of the tomb of Francis II & Marguerite de Foix in Nantes Cathedral. I've just checked and find that tomb was sculpted by Michel Colombe, a contemporary and sometime colleague of the Siloé brothers.
