Book Description

Although German architects were busied on the cathedrals of Burgos and Toledo by the middle of the fifteenth century, it was not until almost the last decade tht retablos showing strong traces of Flemish and German influences began to be produced in quantity. This florid Gothic style, which took firmest root in Castilla, lasted through the first fifteen years of the sixteenth century, gradually merging into the Renaissance manner. -- Preface.
