Main altarpiece of the miraflores charterhouse (burgos). Isabella the catholic. It was isabel the catholic who commissioned this altarpiece from gil de silóe to commemorate her parents, juan ii and isabel of portugal, buried in the head of the church. There is no doubt that the queen also wanted to be represented in such a magnificent work, along with her husband fernando, kneeling and dressed in their best clothes, presented by their titular saints. The two figures are in profile, crowned and with gloved hands, another example of the good work of silóe and his collaborator in the painting, diego de la cruz.
