Abstract

The Capuchin Convents of Sangüesa and Pamplona have in their custody a group of unknown paintings copies of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo’s artworks, made in the second decade of the 20th century for the College of Lekaroz (Navarra) by Capuchin Fr. Pedro de Madrid, man of amazing biography whose artistic skills also extended to music and photography. The objective of this paper is to present this legacy, in which Fr. Pedro de Madrid shows himself to be a skilful interpreter of the Sevillian artist, as well as the vicissitudes of its execution in Madrid and Seville and its subsequent evolution to the present day.
