The author, a native of Galicia, created other examples of <em>Cristos yacentes<\/em>, now preserved at various Spanish institutions (for example, in Valladolid as well, in the museum of the <em>Real Monasterio de San Joaqu\u00edn y Santa Ana<\/em> or in the <em>Iglesia de San Miguel y San Juli\u00e1n<\/em>). The work is characterized by its typical Baroque drama, a work marked by extreme realism that strikes the senses, capable of provoking a very intense emotional impact. It was built on behalf of the <a href=\"\/en\/territories\/urban-routes\/lecce\/seminary\/society-of-jesus\/\" title=\"Society of Jesus\">Jesuits<\/a>, the great promoters of art in Spain and in Europe at the time: the spirit of teaching under which the work was conceived and crafted is clear.
