Summary

In contrast with the exceptional development of stonecutting and altarpiece work over the XVI century in the Basque Country, local painting takes a discreet second place, as the paintings and triptichs imported from Flanders were better accomplished. This article deals with three different activities carried out in local workshops: a limited amount of trestle painting, the customary gilding and quilting of religious woodcarvings and, especially, mural colourpainting in the Basque Country and Navarre which, without doubt, was the Basque Country´s most original contribution to the Rennaissance, with special mention for the painters from Alava.
