espanolEn 1456-1461 el platero Francisco de Aguero refundio el busto relicario de San Braulio, obispo de Zaragoza, por encargo del arzobispo Dalmau de Mur y Cervello y el cabildo de Santa Maria la Mayor con el proposito de que la pieza adquiriera un aspecto proximo al del lujoso busto de plata de San Valero de la catedral de la Seo, una obra en la que el propio Francisco de Aguero habia trabajado en 1448-1452. En los anos precedentes, a raiz del incendio que la Santa Capilla del Pilar sufrio en 1434-1435 y su inmediata reconstruccion, se habia reactivado la tradicion de la Venida de la Virgen a Zaragoza en carne mortal para confortar al apostol Santiago y confiarle la construccion de una iglesia en torno a la columna sobre la que se aparecio Maria. El capillo de la capa de nuestro busto incluye la mas antigua representacion conocida de este suceso. EnglishIn 1456-1461 the silversmith Francisco de Aguero recast the reliquary bust of Saint Braulio, bishop of Zaragoza, requested by the archbishop Dalmau de Mur y Cervello and the chapter of Santa Maria la Mayor in order to give the piece a similar appearance to the luxurious bust of Saint Valero in the cathedral of La Seo, a piece in which the own Francisco de Aguero had worked between 1448-1452. In the previous years, due to the fire in the Santa Capilla del Pilar in 1434-1435 and its immediate rebuilding, the tradition of the coming of the living Virgin to Zaragoza to comfort the apostle Santiago and entrust him with the building of a church around the pillar above which Maria appeared to him. The capillo of the cloak of the bust includes the oldest known representation of this event.
