Mural painting of the Baptism of Jesus
on the Altar of Saint John the Baptist
The altar of Saint John the Baptist is linked to the chaplaincy founded by Canon Juan Muñoz. The mural composition was found by chance in 1989 after removing the panel of the Incarnation of Pedro de Córdoba.
Of anonymous authorship, the work reveals a clear Italian-Gothic influence that dates it to around the year 1390. From an iconographic perspective we see the scene of the Baptism of Christ, who is flanked by two angels. The geometric motifs that adorn Saint John's robes stand out.
