Summary

The study of the nine splendid linens that are to be found in the Basilica of Our Lady of Begoña allows us to provide a new example of what we understand as imported Baroque painting in Bizkaia. The author goes from a spectacular pictorial set, of whi ch we knew nothing, to the reconstruction of a process in which the figure of the employer that commissioned these works is revealed, together the original destination for which they were created and, of course, the painter who was commissioned. These are three keys of a process that will help us, among other things, to contextualise, from a historic and artistic point of view, this cycle on the life of Saint Joseph.
