Abstract	This study compares the ampelographic characterization of adult leaves and clusters from real grapevine varieties with those present in Solomonic columns of Baroque altarpieces. In a previous preliminary work, the authors concluded that sculpted grapevine leaves in Baroque altarpieces were represented with botanical accuracy and may represent real varieties. Grapevines are a very important decorative feature of these art works, in particular as ornamentation on Solomonic columns. The present work examines more of these carved leaves and includes also the clusters. Six real grapevine varieties were identified on as many altarpieces, enriching their cultural value and pointing to their existence in the wine-growing zone by the 17th century. Further varieties may be identifiable on Baroque altarpieces in other winemaking areas using the same methods. These results encourage other researchers to use unconventional sources for the study of the evolution of agriculture and crop history.El presente trabajo compara a nivel ampelográfico las hojas adultas y los racimos de variedades de vid reales con aquellos que aparecen representados en las columnas salomónicas de ciertos retablos barrocos. En un trabajo preliminar publicado anteriormente los autores habían concluido que las hojas esculpidas en estos retablos barrocos están representadas con una gran precisión botánica y por lo tanto podrían estar representando a variedades reales. La vid es un elemento decorativo muy importante en este tipo de obras de arte, en particular como decoración de las columnas de estilo salomónico. El presente trabajo examina un mayor número de retablos e incluye el estudio de los racimos. Seis variedades reales de vid han sido identificadas en otros tantos retablos lo que les aporta nuevos valores culturales y permite demostrar su existencia en la zona vitícola en el siglo XVII. Otras variedades podrían ser también identificadas en retablos barrocos localizados en otras zonas vitícolas diferentes siguiendo la misma metodología. Estos resultados podrían abrir las puertas para que otros investigadores utilicen fuentes de información menos convencionales en el estudio de la evolución de la agricultura y la historia de los diferentes cultivos.
