La actividad escultórica de Huguet Barxa. Nuevas perspectivas

Abstract

Huguet Barxa (1427-1462) is one of the best-known sculptors of the Late Middle Ages in Mallorca. Nevertheless, he is still a somewhat enigmatic and controversial figure as concerns the body of work attributed to him. The present article aims to offer new insight into the sculptural activities of this artist. Some hypotheses that had traditionally been accepted as valid are questioned, such as the attribution to him of the Passio Imaginis altarpiece. A group of works that until now had remained anonymous are here ascribed to his catalogue.
