    • Abstract:
      Cardinal Torquemada (d. 1468) was an important figure in connecting Italian and Northern art. In his exceptional work as ambassador, theologian, and reformer, he received financial support from his uncle Garci Fernández de Torquemada, a wealthy merchant who had business contacts in Flanders, France, and Italy. Rumours spread by the chronicler Hernando del Pulgar concerning a possible 'judeoconverso' background for the Cardinal (i.e., a familiar origin in Jewish people converted to Christianity) are unfounded.

      El Cardenal Torquemada (d. 1468) fue una figura crucial en la conexión entre el arte italiano y el nórdico. En su excepcional labor como embajador, teólogo y reformador, recibió apoyo económico de su tío Garci Fernández de Torquemada, un rico mercader que tenía contactos comerciales en Flandes, Francia e Italia. Resultan infundados los rumores sobre un posible trasfondo judeoconverso del cardenal difundidos por el cronista Hernando del Pulgar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
