Zaragoza Museum (Museo de Zaragoza) has two columns that are part of a three-section cupola from the former Nuestra Señora del Portillo Church, created around 1527 by Gil Morlanes. The documentation details how the artist carefully followed the design, which featured several grooved, alabaster columns dressed in Roman style. Morlanes developed Grotesque iconography depicting the triumph of Charity and command of human passions through Faith.
