The Cathedral of Palencia preserves a sculpture of Saint Mary Magdalene, the commission of which also documents a figure of Saint John the Baptist:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13b653c elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"13b653c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The altarpiece executed according to this contract was altered over the centuries, and it is known that the sculpture of Saint John was sold to the Convent of Santa Clara in Palencia. Afterwards, no further records of the work are known. Since the Magdalene is undoubtedly by Alejo de Vah\u00eda, it has become a key reference in defining the style of the artist. Art historian Joaqu\u00edn Yarza Luaces suggested that the Saint John the Baptist mentioned alongside the Magdalene might be the sculpture now preserved in the Museu Frederic Mar\u00e8s. The sculpture in the Casacuberta Marsans Collection, of similar form, identical dimensions and comparable quality, had not yet been published when the expert proposed this identification and therefore could not be considered at the time as a possible candidate for the figure mentioned in the Salamanca commission.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6851b28 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6851b28\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b376b42 elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b376b42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201c(\u2026) one of Saint John the Baptist and another of the Magdalene, carved in sound, clean, and fine walnut wood, finished to perfection and delivered in Palencia, all at his expense except for what pertains to his own craft as an image-maker.
