Abstract

In this paper we present a previously unpublished painting by the Valencian painter Nicolau Falco, held in a private collection in Barcelona. Of unknown origin, it represents the risen Christ's appearance to the Virgin accompanied by the patriarchs rescued from limbo. It is not a strange iconography, although it is unusual in late Gothic and Renaissance painting. Besides the stylistic study of the work and its place in the context of the Valencian painting in the early sixteenth century, this paper analyzes the documents known about the saga of the Falco. Moreover, this study delves into the iconographic representation of the painting and textual sources that support it. These include the Vita Christi by Isabel de Villena, which describes in detail the passage and, from its editio princeps of 1497, contributed to the episode broadcast in Valencian pictorial cycles.
