Late Gothic art united the ogival form, as in the cathedral-like architectural miniatures, with Renaissance decoration inspired by Greco-Roman art, as seen in the columns and medallions with busts depicting the Prophets of the Old Testament. This exuberant Manueline gilded silver chalice belonged to the Monastery of Santa Clara.
