Altarpiece of Ieshu Verde and Saint Nicholas of Bari
by Pedro de Campaña
Its design corresponds to the authorship of the architect Hernán Ruiz II. Here we have a Plateresque altarpiece comprising a base, two bodies and a top. The central part, which is much wider than the side ones, houses the alcove with the sculpture of Saint Nicholas of Bari. The other spaces are filled by the panel paintings of Pedro de Campaña, which comprise the iconographic discourse of the altarpiece. Whilst the Passionist scenes of the Maundy, Holy Supper and Prayer in Gethsemane can be found in the pew, on the side of the first body we notice the presence of the Annunciation and Adoration of the Kings. In the second we see, from left to right, the Battle of the Angles, the Virgin with the Infant and the Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew. With regard to the top, this is presided over by the traditional Calvary, flanked by two pictorial tondi in which we can see Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
All the pictorial compositions reflect the characteristic style of Pedro de Campaña, which blends an Italian influence with his interest in the representation of details, of Flemish inspiration.

Hernán Ruiz II
He combined both practical architectural skills and a theoretical knowledge of the treaties. He is also author of the Architecture Manuscript, a work in which he collected the research undertaken throughout his experience as an architect. His contributions go beyond the geographical boundaries of Cordoba as other highlights are his work on the Giralda and the Chapter House of Seville Cathedral
Pedro de Campaña

In 1537, after coming into contact with the first Roman Mannerism, he established himself in Seville, the city in which he got married and carried out important works.
