From religious sculptures to intricate wooden reliefs, his masterpieces offer a window into the tumultuous 15th and 16th centuries. One such masterpiece is "The Baptism of the Moorish of the Kingdom of Granada, " a polychrome artwork that depicts a significant historical event. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring, showcasing Bigarny's skillful craftsmanship and ability to breathe life into his creations. In another work titled "Detail of the Virgin and Child, " we witness Bigarny's talent for sculpting delicate features with precision. The sculpture by Felipe showcases the artist's dedication to capturing emotion and spirituality through his art. "The Catholic Kings receiving the Keys of Granada" transports us to a pivotal moment in history when Spain reclaimed its territory from Muslim rule. This wooden relief exudes grandeur as it immortalizes this triumphant occasion. However, not all depictions are celebratory; some shed light on darker chapters in history. "Forced Baptism of Arab women" reveals an attic adorned with wooden reliefs depicting coerced conversions after Granada fell. It serves as a reminder that art can also reflect painful realities. Bigarny continued exploring these themes with "Forced baptism of Muslims in 1502. " This attic showcases yet another poignant scene, highlighting how religion was used as a tool for control during those turbulent times. Amongst Bigarny's notable contributions are polychromed wood reliefs like "Catholic Monarchs. " These pieces demonstrate his mastery over materials while providing insight into Spanish royalty during this period. His influence extended beyond individual artworks; he also contributed significantly to the Altarpiece of the Cathedral of Spain.
