Abstract

We bring to light the extraordinary renaissance lectern, from the Parish Church of Lanciego made at the end of the second third of the sixteenth century. It is a work of an international character, from the workshop of the French master Esteban Bertin of Paris. After its detailed analysis, we conclude that it is a mannerist work that shows a varied repertoire of fantastic decorative motifs inspired by the School of Fontainebleau prints. Among them stands out the six male and female Hermes which is the most important anthropomorphic support group in the Basque Country.
