Summary:This work studies the iconography of Vicent Macip’s altarpiece dedicated to Saint Dionysius and Saint Margaret, which is found in the Cathedral of València. The main subject of the altarpiece is the presence of the Virgin Mary in salvation history. Iconographic categories have been described according to their possible relationship to the descriptions that appear in Francesc Eiximenis’s Vida de Jesucrist [Life of Jesus Christ, in Catalan] (Hereafter, this text will be referred to as VCE). or Isabel de Villena’s Vita Christi [Life of Christ, in Latin] (Hereafter, this text will be referred to as VCV), which are important works of 15th-century Valencian literature in the Catalan language that were read during the time the altarpiece was finished.
