| Summary: | In 1447 Lope de Barrientos founded his hospital of la Piedad in Medina del Campo, which he appointed his universal heir in 1454. By founding this religious hospital, Barrientos reached the culmination of a life devoted to acts of charity and to the patronage of institutions dedicated to the care of the most disadvantaged. The hospital chapel originally housed the bishop's tomb, which is currently deposited in the Museo de las Ferias in Medina del Campo. The documentary, historical and artistic analysis of this funerary complex allows us to approach, from a new point of view, the distinguished figure of Barrientos, one of the main prelates of 15th-century Castile. En 1447 Lope de Barrientos fundó su hospital de la Piedad en Medina del Campo, al cual nombró su heredero universal en 1454. Con esta fundación hospitalaria, Barrientos culminaría una vida consagrada a la reforma de la piedad cristiana, a los actos de caridad y al patrocinio de instituciones destinadas al cuidado de los más necesitados. La capilla del hospital albergó la tumba del obispo, cuyos restos se conservan hoy en día en el Museo de las Ferias de Medina del Campo. El análisis documental, histórico y artístico de este desaparecido conjunto funerario nos permitirá aproximarnos, desde un nuevo punto de vista, a la figura de Barrientos, uno de los principales prelados de la Castilla del siglo XV. |
