Abstract

This paper shows the journey of an artwork that was very significant in the exchanges between Spain and Italy during the Catholic Kings’ reign: The triptych of The Saviour, by Antoniazzo Romano, in The Prado Museum. This triptych came from the
Trinity Museum, so it’s considered to belong to one of the disappeared monasteries near Madrid during the Disentailment of Mendizábal. Basing on unpublished documents of the monastery of Saint Thomas, in Ávila, we provide the evidences of the real origin of the triptych.
