UN JUEGO DE ALTAR DE PLATA PARA EL REAL CONVENTO DE SAN MARCOS DE LEÓN.

In 1767, the members of the chapter of the Royal Convent of San Marcos de León signed a contract with the silversmiths Diego Martínez and Francisco del Real, then active in the city, to make a set of silverware pieces to decorate the altar of their church. In 1768, changes in the personal relationship between the silversmiths led to a rupture in their professional relations that put the completion of this set at risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
