Abstract
In the fifteenth century, paintings in the Kingdom of Castile, was profoundly influenced by Flemish art of the time, to the degree that Spanish art historians referred to it as "Hispano-Flemish" painting. Study of the procedures and materials employed by carpenters, gilders and painters has revealed aspects that are characteristic and unique to Castilian painting and which are related above all to the choice of wood, construction of the support and mode of assembly. "Hispano-Flemish" painters started to make use of oil at this time and while still revealing technical problems already overcome by northern European artists, achieved an exceptional level of mastery in the fifteenth century.
