La tragedia española del Siglo de Oro en su contexto europeo: el canon trágico en Francia e Inglaterra
2017
Tragedy was born in Greece and was subsequently claimed and defended in Europe during the Renaissance and Baroque but, this being a gender as orthodox as changeable, it will be necessary to resort to a new reading of its components in order to adapt them to the reality of the Golden Age. Humanism promotes this recovery of the classical world and generates a significant literature on drama precepts that will not develop the same way in all European countries. While Italy and France opt for the acceptance and conversion of the ideas of Aristotle and Horace into style rules, Spain and England cannot fail to point out the dramatic dissonance between stage theory and practice, and, the aim of pl…

La celda del Padre Salamanca en el Convento de la Merced de Cuzco. Guía conceptual de la vida religiosa mercedaria en el altiplano peruano del seteci…
2009
En el año 1650 un terremoto destruye el convento de la Merced de Cuzco, por lo que ha de ser reconstruido de nuevo. Con este motivo se lleva a cabo en el claustro bajo una celda, apodada del Padre Salamanca, cuyos muros y techos están totalmente recubiertos con pinturas al temple, que componen un programa iconográfico unitario, a pesar de que se observan varios estilos y la participación de al menos dos o tres artistas. Este programa sigue los modelos de la Iglesia Contrarreformista y las escenas se estructuran en las cuatro salas de la celda: en el zaguán las virtudes que debe practicar el monje, en el vestíbulo temas iconográficos mercedarios, en el dormitorio la Infancia de Cristo, en la…

The Bell-Tower Facade: An Aseismic Device in Sicily Between the 12th and 18th Centuries
2014
Imposing tower facades with belfries in the last order were built in Sicily Italy, from the Middle Ages to the late Baroque period. Until the 16th century, this model, which was inspired by northern European examples, also had a parallelepiped forepart leaning against the facade, working as containment for the pressure imparted by the inner longitudinal arches on the front, and amplified in case of earthquakes. The lacking static efficiency of these early structures is demonstrated by collapses during the strong earthquakes that hit the island in the modern age. Despite numerous cases of destruction, the memory of some prototypes survived in Sicilian constructive memory through the elaborat…
Epitalamios e himeneos. Iconografía y literatura nupcial en las cortes del Barroco.
2010
En este estudio se aborda, bajo una visión general, los textos y las imágenes presentes en algunos epitalamios e himeneos: composiciones poéticas de los siglos XVII y XVIII, realizadas en las cortes europeas con motivo de los matrimonios concertados entre sus miembros. Sus imágenes emblemáticas y simbólicas, son de gran interés para la historia del arte, pues se inspiran en las composiciones de los libros de emblemas del periodo y desarrollan temas habituales en la literatura matrimonial. No obstante, lo más significativo son los mensajes políticos que difunden, fundamentalmente los beneficios políticos de las uniones dinásticas. This study deals, from a general point of view, with the text…
La nuova idea di cupola : teatri sacri e profani nell’Europa d’età barocca tra storia e rappresentazione
2023
A remarkable and diverse series of ceiling structures emerged between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in several European cities, aiming to offer a theatrical approach to architectural space. This development unfolded amidst the widespread use of frescoed ceilings or hemispherical domes supported by drums and pendentives inspired by Roman models. Designing and building systems consisting of multiple domes, open with oculi, superimposed or surmounted by lanterns, adorned with frescoes or galleries, and featuring light and music chambers required expertise in optics, perspective, acoustics, and, in some cases, even stereotomy. These skills were necessary to transform spaces in both r…
Giacomo Serpotta tra sacro e profano
2022
We shall be taking an innovative and original approach in our examination of the insuperable figure of Giacomo Serpotta, an outstanding Sicilian stucco sculptor of the 18th century. The complete artistic output of Giacomo Serpotta is traced, oscillating between the sacred and the profane in the sculptural adornment of many churches and oratories. Here, Giacomo Serpotta shifts from the Baroque to Rococo, originating a sculptural art that is profoundly innovative in its language and symbology. Formal reading and chromatic-spatial games are intertwined with the symbolic in the light of significant essays by Carl Gustav Jung, Martin Heidegger and Carlo Giulio Argan
«Nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum». Ipotesi sul campanile della chiesa della Santissima Annunziata di Messina
2022
This article addresses a series of hypothesis concerning the octagonal space indicated in Guarino Guarini’s drawings of the Church of the Santissima Annunziata in Messina in his Architettura Civile. The façade of the church was completed around 1660 by Guarino Guarini and presented a «prodigiously high» bell tower at the corner, which collapsed during the 1693 earthquake and was later rebuilt shorter. The entire church was destroyed during the 1908 earthquake. Guarini’s drawings published in his treatise suggest that there must have been an octagonal chapel with columns at the corners under the tower; perhaps it was the baptistery of the church. Alternatively, the octagon can be identified …
Women and Sainthood: the Body as an Expression and Manifestation of Divine Gifts. The Case of Blessed Inés of Benigànim
2018
The body and the feminine are highly linked concepts into early modern mentalities. Women are considered to be more determined by their own body, a condition that would make them more imperfect, especially according to the ecclesiastical discourse. However, many religious women could take advantage of this «unavoidable» bond, mainly during the Baroque period, and through the mystical phenomenon. Among these women, we will highlight Blessed Inés of Benigànim, a valencian nun from the 17th century whose case will allow us to analyze corporal, feminine and spiritual bonds through different phenomena such as ecstasies, mortifications or relics.
