Enrique de Estencop

Enrique de Estencop is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.

Enrique de Estencop painted religious scenes in the late 1300s. His small panel Virgin of the Angels shows a crowned Mary holding the Christ child, surrounded by angels with delicate gold halos. The colors are muted, soft golds, blues, and reds, and the figures have a quiet, stiff grace, typical of the era before the Renaissance.

Look closer and you’ll spot tiny details like the angel’s wings patterned with tiny brushstrokes. Next, tap Virgin of the Angels to explore the gold leaf and tempera layers.
