Atienzia, Diego de (Active mid 17th CE)

Monstrance. 1646/9. Silver gilt with enamel, cast, chased, and engraved, H. 22 1/2 in. (57.2 cm). The inscription indicates that this monstrance was made for Pedro de Urraca, a Spanish-born Mercedarian friar who spent most of his life in Ecuador and Peru, where he was revered for the holiness of his ministry. Urraca probably commissioned the monstrance from Atienzia as a gift to his native parish of Jadraque in Guadalajara, Spain. Such donations are responsible for the presence of much New World silver in Spanish churches. The Friedsam Collection, Bequest of Michael Friedsam, 1931 (32.100.231a, b).
