The Tomb of Juan II of Castile and Isabel of Portugal is a remarkable example of late Gothic funerary art, crafted by the renowned sculptor Gil de Siloe. This intricate monument is located in the Miraflores Charterhouse (Cartuja de Miraflores) near Burgos, Spain. Commissioned by Queen Isabella I of Castile, the tomb was intended to honor her parents, King Juan II of Castile and his second wife, Isabel of Portugal. The work was completed between 1489 and 1493, during a period when Gothic art was transitioning towards the more elaborate and ornate style known as the Isabelline Gothic.

Gil de Siloe, a sculptor of probable Flemish origin, was one of the most prominent artists of his time in Spain. His work on the tomb is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the use of high-quality alabaster, which allowed for fine, delicate carvings. The tomb features a double sarcophagus, with effigies of Juan II and Isabel of Portugal lying side by side. The figures are depicted in a serene repose, dressed in regal attire, and surrounded by a canopy of intricate Gothic tracery.

The base of the tomb is adorned with a series of reliefs depicting scenes from the lives of the monarchs, as well as religious iconography. Angels, saints, and heraldic symbols are intricately carved into the alabaster, creating a visual narrative that reflects the piety and royal lineage of the deceased. The overall composition of the tomb is both harmonious and grandiose, embodying the artistic and cultural values of late 15th-century Spain.

The Tomb of Juan II of Castile and Isabel of Portugal stands as a testament to the skill and artistry of Gil de Siloe, as well as to the enduring legacy of the Castilian monarchy. It remains a significant historical and artistic landmark, attracting scholars and visitors who seek to appreciate its beauty and craftsmanship.
