La capilla de San Dionís de la catedral de Tudela y su exorno artístico [San Dionís’s chapel of the cathedral of Tudela and its artistic exorno]

Abstract

San Dionís’s chapel of the cathedral of Tudela’s Santa Maria, placed in the eastern gallery of the cloister, was from the 15th century the seat of the confraternity of the same name. This motivated a series of renovations in the architectural structure to adapt it to its new use. This space that was also endowed with different furniture and objects, as Gothic choir stalls, carved by Pedro de Navascués, and a Baroque altarpiece with the bust of the patron saint, which was polychromed in 1711 by the painter Juan Lucas Olleta. It later received other carvings, such as a crucified Christ, linked stylistically with pieces of Aragonese authorship.
