Font Notes:
Listed in Sancho Campo (1971) as a baptismal font of the Gothic period by 'maestro Simon de Colonia'; the large basin appears to have six sides, with as many deeply carved Gothic arches all around, each arch containing a scene; the spandrels of the arcade are ornamented with high-relief foliage; the stem and lower base appear to be dodecagonal, each of its two sides corresponding to one on the basin; the stem has two pronouned mouldings; the splaying lower base is much damaged, but some parts of animal bodies still remain, some of them definitely feline [lions?], but the rest is too damaged for identification. The name of the master appears as "Juan de Colonia" in at least one other source, obviously a German master from Cologne, whatever his Christian name. Described and illustrated also in Fernández Arenas (1998: 112), who dates it to the 15th century and mentions scenes of the life of Christ on its sides: Resurrection, Adoration of the Magi, Mount Tabor [Transfiguration] and the Temptation in the desert, all housed under Gothic arches and foliated spandrels. [NB: the identification of the Adoration of the Magi should be questioned; there are indeed several very elegantly dressed figures in this grouping, but the action going on in the foreground suggests rather that this is the raising or resurrection of Lazarus of Bethany (John 11:1-44); there is one other side, the one between the Resurrection of Christ and the Temptation in the wilderness, for which scene we have no identification -- to be completed]. Noted and illustrated in David de la Garma [https://www.arteguias.com/iglesia/sanhipolitorealtamaracampos.htm] [accessed 28 October 2021]: "En la capilla bautismal situada a los pies de la nave de la Epístola encontramos la pila bautismal gótica de grandes dimensiones y una de los ejemplares más hermosos del gótico español. [...] Además, en la nave del Evangelio hay dos pilas de agua bendita también talladas aunque con sus relieves mucho más desgastados."
