La capilla de la Virgen de Campanar en Valencia: tradición popular erigida en erudita retórica visual

2018

This chapel forms part of the parochial church of Campanar, which belongs to the municipality of Valencia. The Virgen de Campanar (Virgin of Campanar) is an image executed in alabaster, discovered on the subfloor of the church of this place on February 19th, 1596, by some construction workers who were undertaking some remodeling at that time. From that moment forward it began to be worshipped by the masses as a miraculous image. Among its alleged properties we find the mysterious fact that powder from its plaster had miraculous effects: it was taken dissolved in water to cure the sick or to assure a healthy birth for pregnant women, and it even calmed storms at sea if it was thrown into the…

Divisas o empresas históricas de damas. Algunos testimonios (siglos XV y XVI)

2019

ABSTRACT: Devices, badges or imprese, modalities of emblematics, were used by women between the 14th and 17th centuries, although less frequently than by men. This study analyses a little more than two dozen historical devices of ladies of the XVth and XVIth centuries from the perspective of emblematic genre theory. It deals with various aspects such as the structure, the personal involvement of the owners in the design of their devices, the purpose andmanners of displaying wit employed in their composition, etc., and concludes that there are no noticeable differences between women's devices and the masculine ones, except that the impreseof ladies crafted for special occasions (to display i…

Games that People Played in Early Modern Europa and the Emblem

2014

ABSTRACT: This study explores the existence and readership of board games in 16th and 17th century Europe of an emblematic nature. Such games may have derived from the conversation games featured in Baldassare Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier (1528), a work which includes a passage on emblems. In the Spanish tradition, the Filosofia cortesana moralizada (1587) of Alonso de Barros is a book of instructions on how to play this highly emblematic courtly board game, the board of which has unfortunately been lost. Some English emblems of the 17th century also include emblems likely based on Castiglione that depict the courtier as both warrior and scholar. Future studies need to clarify the…

Bocángel?s Silva «El Retrato» : A Textual Trojan Horse?

2020

ABSTRACT: Gabriel Bocángel’s silva «El retrato» (c. 1638) is a textual Trojan horse in the war for poetic patronage in the early modern Spanish court. Written on the wedding of the poet’s cousin to Juan de Cetina, secretary to the Admiral of Castile, the poem is a verbal portrait of the bride that undermines not only the tradition of the descriptio puellae, but also the Count-Duke of Olivares’s power. As a panegyric of the latter’s enemy, the text employs the botanical images of the laurel and the ivy, exploiting the full sense of their symbolic meaning. As an appeal for the patronage of poetry and letters at court and an exercise in «self-fashioning» (Greenblatt), the text makes the lovers…

Emblemática y bestiarios en El día de fiesta de Juan de Zabaleta

2014

ABSTRACT: This article seeks to compare emblematics with El dia de fiesta (1654/1660) by Juan de Zabaleta, a collection of portraits of manners and characters marked by an encyclopaedic feature that serves the pronounced degree of religious and moral didacticism of the text. It first recapitulates the epistemological basis that Zabaleta has in common with emblematics, namely analogical thinking (Foucault) and the belief in the ‘readability of the world’ (Blumenberg). Subsequently it analyses the allegorical function of certain animals –the panther and the octopus, the ape and the turtle– which Zabaleta refers to as examples of virtues and vices, especially hypocrisy, comparing it to the mea…
