Abstract

The aim of the article is to divulge the ancient sculpture collection owned by Juan de Ribera, Archbishop of Valencia, influenced by his humanist training at the House of Pilate in Seville and his relationship with his father Per Afan de Ribera, Duke of Alcalá and Viceroy of Naples. Unpublished documentation regarding sculptures purchased in Naples is attached  and it is contrasted with the inventoried pieces at their palaces after his death in 1611, where there were up to two series of busts of emperors. In addition, aesthetic evolution of Juan de Ribera, from humanistic principles to the influence of Trent and texts of Cardinal Palleoti on the vision of sacred images, can be observed.
