Object history

The hermitage of San Andrés de Mahamud (Burgos) housed a funerary monument where the remains of Sancho Saiz de Carrillo and his wife Juana were found. Saiz de Carrillo was a nobleman from Burgos who lived between the middle of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th century. The funerary complex was decorated by numerous paintings belonging to the Linear Gothic style (Gutiérrez Baños, 2005; Gutiérrez Baños, San José Alonso, Morillo et al., 2010) and nowadays part of them are kept in the National Museum of Art of Catalonia.

According to Walter W. S. Cook, at the beginning of the 20th century the paintings and sculpture of Sancho Saiz de Carrillo were acquired by the French collector Gabriel Dereppe (Gillerman, 2001). While in New York he put them up for sale: Lluís Plandiura bought the paintings and later donated them to the National Art Museum of Catalonia. Dereppe sold the effigy of the nobleman, which was bought by José Gudiol Ricart (Gillerman, 2001). It was later acquired by Juliette Geier, wife of businessman Frederick A. Geier, in the first quarter of the 20th century and in 1958 she donated it to the Cincinnati Art Museum, where it is today.

Description

The artwork is a polychrome sculpture depicting the recumbent figure of Sancho Saiz de Carrillo. He is represented holding a pair of gloves and a richly decorated sword in his hands.

Locations
* The relative location of dealers, antique shops, art galleries, and collectors leads us to the places where they were based or had one of their main headquarters. However, this does not always indicate that every artwork that passed through their hands was physically located there. In the case of antique dealers and art merchants, their business often extended across multiple territories; sometimes they would purchase items at their origin and send them directly to clients. Similarly, some collectors owned multiple residences, sometimes in different countries, where they housed their collections. It is often difficult to determine exactly where a specific piece was kept during its time in their possession. Consequently, the main location of the dealer or collector is indicated. These factors should be considered when interpreting the map. Refer to the object's history in each case.
