Las pinturas murales de la capilla de Santa Bárbara, en la antigua colegiata de Santa María la Mayor de Valladolid

Abstract

La capilla de Santa Bárbara, en la antigua colegiata de Santa María la Mayor de Valladolid, cuenta con una interesante pintura mural tardogótica en el interior de un arco cegado en su muro oriental. Aunque su estado de conservación impide una visión completa del conjunto, aún se pueden distinguir cuatro escenas relativas a la vida de Santa Bárbara, con el episodio de la elevación de su alma a los cielos en el remate.
