Resum

We present in this article in chronological order, the descriptive and geometrical analysis, as well as technical, of five masterpieces of the Spanish fictive altarpiece, made in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, by masters of wall painting. The altarpieces that we present are located in the sacristy of the Church of Saint Michael and San Julian (Valladolid), in the Hermitage of Our Lado of Solitude in Puebla de Montalbán (Toledo), in the Church of Saint. Jacques in Lietor (Albacete), in the Church of Saint Peter Nolasco (Barcelona), and in the Hermitage of Saint Isidore in Alcalá de Henares (Madrid). The analysis is also technical, because we consider that it is essential to enter the corporeity of these pieces, in its structure and stratification which, combined with the study of the ways of transpositions of the sketches and the pictorial techniques used for its representations, will help us better understand the methodology used by its authors in the making of this wall paintings.
