]]> The work by Fiammingo in the second half of the 16th century depicts one of the most typical scenes of the European peasantry in autumn: the grape harvest. After the dry summer, when the sun had fed the vineyards with its rays, the grapes were harvested to be trodden and the wine-making process began. In the more distant shots of the composition, we can see how the grapes were harvested, as well as the need for pack animals to transport the product. The whole family was involved in this activity, as there is a direct allusion to the child conversing with an adult, possibly his father, who is trying to tread the grapes for fun.

]]> The funeral chapel of the Enriquez family is located in the church of San Pedro in the city of Cuenca, in the chapel of San Marcos. This saga used this space as a pantheon from the 16th to the 18th century, and owned it until the 19th century. With the acquisition of this crypt, the family’s social ascent is reflected in the way they honoured their memory and their lineage, founding well-endowed chaplaincies in it and achieving not only their social reproduction, but also family perpetuation with this strategy of differentiation.
