- Authors
Romero Medina, Raúl; Marías, Fernando
- Abstract
Juan Guas was one of the most important personalities of European artistic creation of the second half of the fifteenth century. This essay deals with the origin of this master, who was born in León, France, without the possibility of error in Lyon for the Castilians of the time and reflects on the end of his existence through a space of memory such as that of the funerary chapel that he designed in the church of San Justo y Pastor of Toledo. One of the most characteristic elements of this Toledan chapel is the presence of the intersecting jarjas of its vaulted space which, although they occurred from the end of the 14th century in Europe as a whole, are observed in the Rhone area of Lyon and were solutions brought to the Iberian Peninsula by masters such as Pierre Jalopa or Hanequin Coeman from Brussels. Under the orders of this last master, Juan Guas appears documented for the first time, in 1452, collaborating with his father, Pedro Guas, in the sculptural work of the Puerta de los Leones of the Cathedral of Toledo.
