The Chapel of Contador Saldaña at Santa Clara de Tordesillas: New Proposals about its Original Appearance and Role in the Fashioning of Identity by an Early Fifteenth-Century Converso

The paper proposes revisions to the chronology of the chapel’s construction, its layout, the identities of the effigies, and the locus of production of the carved retable, as well as re- interpreting some of its imagery.
