RENAISSANCE SCHOOL OF EL ESCORIAL FROM THE 16TH CENTURY - Manera by Juan de Arfe (León, 1535- Madrid, April 3, 1603), ATTRIBUTED TO THE LEONI WORKSHOP (LEONE AND POMPEO) Exquisite gilded and chiseled bronze plaque representing the "Vision of Saint Ignatius of Loyola", in mercury gilded bronze, measurements: 26 x 19 cm. Juan de Arfe y Villafañe, considered the most prolific silversmith of the Renaissance (León, 1535- Madrid, April 3, 1603) goldsmith and silversmith of Leonese origin. He came from a family of goldsmiths of German origin. His best-known works are the monstrance seats of the cathedrals of Seville, Valladolid and Ávila. He carried out notable commissions for Philip II and the Duke of Lerma, collaborating extensively with the Leoni. In 1560 he is credited with authoring the Cross of the Cathedral of Valladolid, which is today in Barcelona. He began working at the Court in 1596, although he had tried to work for Philip II before. His first job was to review some sculptural groups from the El Escorial monastery made by Pompeo Leoni. Between 1596 and 1599 he carried out various works in the royal tombs of the El Escorial monastery. Between 1597 and 1599 he participated in the making of 74 reliquaries with copper busts for this monastery. Of these 74, only 37 are preserved, of which only bear Juan's signature. In 1599 he made an ewer with its corresponding fountain for Philip II, although they are not preserved. Between 1600 and 1601 he made the decoration of a copper altar frontal, which was Philip II, which would be placed in the monastery of El Escorial, Today, whereabouts unknown.
