The "Retable of St. Christopher" is a notable work of religious art attributed to Spanish Unknown Masters, a term often used to describe works by unidentified artists from Spain during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This retable, a form of altarpiece, is dedicated to Saint Christopher, a martyr and one of the most venerated saints in Christianity, known for his story of carrying the Christ child across a river. The artwork is a prime example of the religious and artistic fervor of its time, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and devout spirituality that characterized the period.

Crafted in the traditional style of Spanish retablos, the piece is likely composed of a central panel depicting St. Christopher in his most iconic pose, carrying the Christ child on his shoulders, surrounded by smaller panels or predellas that narrate other scenes from the saint's life or depict other saints and biblical stories. The use of vibrant colors, gold leaf, and detailed iconography would have been typical, aiming to instruct the faithful and inspire devotion through the visual narrative.

The exact date of the "Retable of St. Christopher" remains uncertain, but such works are generally dated between the 15th and 16th centuries, a period that saw a flourishing of religious art in Spain due to both the Reconquista and the Counter-Reformation. The anonymity of the artists may be attributed to the communal nature of art production at the time, where workshops led by master artists completed commissions without individual recognition.

This retable not only serves as a spiritual object of veneration but also as a cultural artifact that offers insight into the religious practices, artistic techniques, and societal values of its era. Its preservation and study contribute to our understanding of Spain's rich artistic heritage and the role of religious art in shaping the visual landscape of the European Renaissance.
