The Tomb of Infante Alfonso, crafted by the renowned Spanish sculptor Gil de Siloe, stands as a remarkable example of late Gothic funerary art. Commissioned in the late 15th century, this tomb was created to honor Infante Alfonso of Castile, the younger brother of Queen Isabella I of Castile. Alfonso, who died at a young age in 1468, was a significant figure in the turbulent political landscape of Castile during his short life.

Gil de Siloe, a master sculptor of Burgos, was known for his intricate and highly detailed works, which often featured elaborate iconography and a deep sense of piety. The tomb, located in the Carthusian Monastery of Miraflores near Burgos, Spain, is a testament to his skill and artistic vision. It is constructed from alabaster, a material favored for its fine grain and ability to hold intricate details, which Siloe exploited to its fullest potential.

The tomb features a recumbent effigy of Infante Alfonso, depicted in a serene repose, dressed in the regal attire befitting his status. Surrounding the effigy are a series of meticulously carved figures, including angels, saints, and heraldic symbols, which not only serve as a tribute to Alfonso's noble lineage but also reflect the religious fervor of the period. The base of the tomb is adorned with a series of reliefs that narrate scenes from Alfonso's life and the Passion of Christ, blending personal history with spiritual themes.

Siloe's work on the Tomb of Infante Alfonso is characterized by its attention to detail and the emotional depth conveyed through the sculpted figures. The tomb is not only a significant historical artifact but also a masterpiece of Gothic sculpture, reflecting the artistic and cultural milieu of late 15th-century Spain. It remains a focal point for art historians and visitors alike, who are drawn to its beauty and the poignant story of the young prince it commemorates.
