Abstract

In 2013 the entrepeneur José Luis Várez Fisa (1928-2014) donated to the Museo del Prado several outstanding works of art dating from the Medieval and Early Renaissance periods, including a richly painted Castilian Gothic "alfarje", or flat wooden ceiling, from his private collection. The "alfarje" was said to have come from the demolished church of Santa Marina in Valencia de Don Juan (León). In this article, detailed research into the origins of the roof and its structural features leads to the conclusion that it is in fact a product of the antiquarian market, made from genuine painted beams dating from various periods and hailing from different locations to satisfy the interest of twentieth-century art collectors in such works.
