NEW CONTRIBUTIONS TO “LAS PORTADAS GÓTICAS GADITANAS”: THE SPONSORCHIP OF THE CARDINAL DIEGO HURTADO DE MENDOZA IN THE CHURCH OF SANTIAGO DE JEREZ AND THE AUTHORSHIP OF RODRIGO DE ALCALÁ IN THE CHURCH OF SAN JORGE DE ALCALÁ DE LOS GAZULES

Abstract

Between the last decades of the XV century and the beginning of the XVI, in Jerez and its environment there were made a series of façades inspired in the lateral ones from the head of the Seville Cathedral. Amongst them, this article emphasizes the Epistle Façade of the Church of Santiago de Jerez, and the main one from the Church of San Jorge, located in Alcalá de los Gazules of San Jorge. The first one is important because of its execution under the sponsorship of the Cardinal Hurtado de Mendoza, and the second one for presenting its builder master´s signature, a fact that never has been pointed out until now.
