Monastery of San Clemente

This guide to the Monastery of San Clemente in Seville follows three generations of craftsmen who left their mark on one cloistered Cistercian church, founded by Ferdinand the Third on the day his troops entered the city. It traces how the baroque painter Juan de Valdes Leal took the largest scene in the presbytery for himself and left the rest to his son Lucas, working beneath an unsigned Mudejar ceiling raised by anonymous Sevillian carpenters. Trace the brushwork around the room to find where one painter's hand stops and the other's begins.
