The Cristo yacente of El Pardo is the most famous of the fourteen "Cristos" produced by Fernández and his workshop.
As devotional images, many of them were processed during Holy Week with other “pasos” (elaborate religious floats adorned with sculptures depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ). All these images were created in accordance with Counter-Reformation ideology that required realism in religious images to impress and move the believer.
