La obra Cor Iesv amanti sacrvm de Antonio Wierix: el religio cordis jesuita al inicio de la reforma católica y la promoción de la vía mística triple
2016
ABSTRACT: This article introduces the emblem book Cor Iesv amanti sacrvm by Antonius Wierix, written around 1586/87 with 18 engravings accompanied by brief Latin poems of two stanzas with three lines each. After a general introduction to the work, this study presents an iconographic analysis of the picturae , interpreted together with their corresponding subscriptiones . This text and image composition is then regarded as religious language, typical of Jesuit emblem books. By comparing different editions of this book, the order of the 18 emblems - suggested (but not explained) by Menon - is confirmed, and a new sequence is proposed, highlighting the main objective of this work, viz. the pro…
Brodsky y la Navidad: “Dec 24, 1971”
2020
ABSTRACT: Throughout his life, Joseph Brodsky clung stubbornly to a set of habits and tastes. One of his most outstanding and surprising loyalties was his writing a Christmas poem every year, which in time produced around thirty different pieces. Among these is the remarkable «Dec 24, 1971», his last Christmas poem before he left the Soviet Union, which contains a reference to his idea of «empire» –a criticism of totalitarian regimes– plus an idea of Christianity as a religion of hospitality and brotherhood.

El grabado de La pícara Justina como parodia de la Filosofía cortesana moralizada
2020
ABSTRACT: The engraving in the cover of La pícara Justina has been traditionally interpreted as a synthesis of the picaresque genre. This article explores the aforementioned engraving, commonly known as La nave de la vida picaresca, not as a reflection of the picaresque literary conventions, but through the perspective of the parody, which is an essential element of López de Úbeda’s work. The engraving would be dialoguing, comically, with the board game of the Filosofía cortesana moralizada (1587) by Alonso de Barros. This analysis of parodic elements present in Justina’s engraving allows to reflect about the genesis of the novel, as well as its relationship with courtly manuals and contemp…
El viaje triunfal de Carlos V por Sicilia tras la victoria de Túnez
2016
ABSTRACT: In 1535 Emperor Charles V made a triumphant journey to the north of Sicily after the victory of Tunisia. The triumphal entries made in the Sicilian cities featured ceremonial elements which would later be imitated by the other Italian cities that received the Emperor. The Roman-style triumph and the chivalric romances are the main models used in the ephemeral decorations, which would have important consequences in European art of the period. KEYWORDS: Charles V, Sicily, Tunisia, Triumphal Entries, Renaissance, Santa Cruz. RESUMEN: En el ano 1535 el emperador Carlos V realiza un viaje triunfal por el norte de Sicilia tras la victoria de Tunez. En las entradas realizadas en las ciud…
Voglio tempo. Reflejos emblemáticos en Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno de Benedetto Pamphilij y Georg Friedrich Handel.
2014
ABSTRACT: Allegorical and emblematic images do not appear exclusively in visual literature: Genres such as the Italian or the Italian-inspired Counter-Reformation oratorios, cantatas and sacred or moral operas often contain images quite similar in form and function to those published in the Seventeenth and early Eighteenth-century European collections of emblems. This article analyses some of these parallelisms in the particular case of Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno (c. 1707), by the librettist and patron of the arts Cardinal Benedetto Pamphilj and the composer Georg Friedrich Handel. KEYWORDS: Emblem, Opera, Oratorio, Academy, Discourse, Allegory, Rhetoric, Aural, Visual, Pamphilj,…
Neptuno Alegórico: emblemático arco en la obra de sor Juana
2013
ABSTRACT: Frequently but unevenly valued, sor Juana Ines de la Cruz’s (1648-1695) Neptuno alegorico [Allegorical Neptune] has received increased attention in recent years, as though —by virtue of its nature as «ephemeral art»— «that» art (emblematic) had become increasingly more meaningful than the fugacious situation from which it emerged. An exceptional text, the design of the triumphal archway that welcomed the new viceroy Tomas Antonio de la Cerda and his wife Maria Luisa Manrique de Lara in 1680, reveals not only the importance that sor Juana had already attained, to a great extent, as a writer, but also, and more emphatically, it shows the relevance of her public figure and, in a prog…
«O engenho e a arte» de Camões nos emblemas das Festas que se fizeram pelo casamento del Rey D. Affonso VI
2013
ABSTRACT: This study aims to offer an interpretation of the possible meanings of the emblematic images and verses of Camoes present in the triumphal arches erected for the royal wedding of Afonso VI and Maria Francisca de Saboia (1666), through the analysis of the epithalamic album entitled Festas que se fizerao pelo Cazamento del Rey D. Affonso VI. Its texts and symbolic watercolors are of great artistic and cultural interest, because they derive their inspiration from the emblem books of the period in order to disseminate political messages that can be read in multiple ways. KEY WORDS: Emblematics, Ephemeral Art, Marriage, Baroque Courts, Camoes RESUMEN: Este estudio pretende realizar una…
On the Origins of Spanish Hieroglyphs: Part One
2015
ABSTRACT: In this paper the Spanish reception of hieroglyphs, and its outcome, is presented as an important aspect of the process of transmission of hieroglyphs in Early-Modern Europe. This change of perspective is important because it gives a general context for the phenomenon in Spain, clarifies its ties with the rest of the continent through the process of diffusion and –perhaps more relevantly– highlights the distinct characteristics that hieroglyphs assumed in Spain as response to a different mentality, culminating with the creation of what the author regards as «classic Spanish hieroglyphs». KEYWORDS: Hieroglyph, Emblem, Diffusion, Genre. RESUMEN: En este trabajo, dividido en dos part…
Cuestiones religiosas en los Emblemata (Amberes, 1565) de Adriano Junio
2014
ABSTRACT: In this study I deal briefly with some issues related to the visual culture of the Baroque festival; and more specifically, with those related to the royal portraits that were on display during the festive activities. To this end I place special emphasis on developing the concepts of presence, body and virtuality –as applied to those works or visual objects– from an approach that offers a new theoretical framework, namely, that which involves «image studies» or «visual culture studies» (Bildwissenschaft, Bildanthropologie y visual studies). KEYWORDS: Baroque Festival, Royal Portraits, Presence, Body, Virtuality, Image Studies. RESUMEN: En el presente estudio abordaremos brevemente…
