Sobre la escultura
Diego de Sileo (c.1490-c. 1553), was one of the leading Spanish artists of the first half of the sixteenth century. An architect as well as a sculptor, he was primarily responsible for the design of Granada Cathedral. This alabaster relief is one of several known versions associated with the artist and his Italianate in style.

The Italianate features of the composition have often been remarked upon. The probable Florentine sources of the composition may be due to Diego de Siloe's stay in Italy in the years preceding his work in Burgos. Diego de Siloe, sculptor and architect, was the son of Gil de Siloe (active c. 1480- c. 1504), who came from the Netherlands, but worked in Burgos, notably at the Monastery at Miraflores during the 1480s. Diego spent some time in Italy, where he is documented in Naples around 1516, he mainly worked in Burgos from 1519 onwards and from 1528 onwards he worked in Granada.
