Los ángeles de la Lonja de los Mercaderes de Valencia (1484 - ca. 1498). Un estudio de iconografía musical
2015
ABSTRACT: Although the historical and artistic significance of the Lonja (Guildhall) of the Merchants of Valencia is undeniable, up until now there has been no detailed study of the decoration of the vaults over the old Merchant’s Chapel and the Chamber of Trade. The vaults form a unitary visual program in which fifty-two angels are depicted praying, carrying various objects and playing a wide repertoire of musical instruments. This article analyzes the visualization of heavenly music in the Lonja through the iconographic subject of the musician angel. To this end, I have used an iconographic-iconological methodology to study these images, to which I have added observations on the organolog…
The Emblematic Handkerchief in Othello, and Its Untold Backstory
2017
ABSTRACT: Early modern emblems intentionally performed aspects of one’s character that elicited curiosity while conveying secret messages, often amorous and at times shared by lovers. Emblems could be engraved in medallions, affixed to jewelry, printed in books, and sewn into textiles, such the strawberry motif embroidered in the handkerchief Othello gives Desdemona in Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice . Most critics interpret the emblematic handkerchief for what it comes to mean in the play, whereas I explore how it could have meant when Othello initially gives it to Desdemona. Why would a chivalric warrior give his lady such a handkerchief? And what could this…
El lugar de María Intercesora en las imágenes de la Escala de Salvación. Interpretación iconográfica de sus aspectos formales.
2013
ABSTRACT: Iconographic studies often overlook the formal questions of an image, which nevertheless can be essential to interpret the continuity of an iconographic type. This is the case of the Scala Salutis, in which Christ and His Mother intercede with God on behalf of humanity. Mary’s place in these works depends on the varying manners in which she was regarded between the end of the Middle Ages and the 16 th century, when this iconographic type reached its highest level of development. And it will be precisely her physical position in the images, along with other significant elements, that determines the given type. KEY WORDS: Mary Intercessor, Scala Salutis, History of Iconographic Type…
Cesare Ripa y la portada de la iglesia de Pájara, en Fuerteventura
2013
ABSTRACT: Iconology , the important book of allegories and attributes compiled by Cesare Ripa in 1593, was a major source for understanding the symbolic art of the culture of the period. Its application affected the visual practice of arts and architecture. In Pajara (Fuerteventura. Canary Islands), there is a temple whose main facade draws on symbols that seem to be influenced by Ripa's work: elements of Nature and zoomorphic, animistic and material representations with a decided spiritual and cosmogonic charge. In the context of Baroque culture, the symbols recorded on the facade proclaim the triumph of the Reformed Church. KEY WORDS: Seventeenth Century Architecture. Iconography. Iconolo…
‘Mírate Los Pies Y Desharás La Rueda’. La Emblemática Y Las Novelas Ejemplares De Cervantes
2017
ABSTRACT: This study posits a number of possible crossroads useful for the the study of the relationship between emblematics and literature. It focuses specifically on the case of Cervantes, whose always elusive works defy any attempt to pigeonhole them in simple connections. Concretely, it offers a proposal for the analysis of emblematic structures in the Novelas ejemplares . The examples adduced attempt to illustrate the complex modes of dialogue between the narratives of Cervantes and the emblem, considering the latter as the most characteristic artifact of the symbolic culture of the 16th and 17th centuries. KEYWORDS: Emblematics; Cervantes; Novelas ejemplares ; Narratives; Golden Ag…
La divisa de las granadas del rey Enrique IV de Castilla y su estela posterior
2015
ABSTRACT: This study analyzes the meaning of the impresa or device of the pomegranates, with the motto « Agro dulce », utilized by Henry IV (1425-1474), of the House of Trastamara, King of Castile from 1454 until his death. By means of a review of vestiges that remain of the device, especially in architectonic elements, I postulate that the pomegranate may have been used as the family impresa of the House of Trastamara and their descendants. This, it seems, can be deduced from the pictura of the device in several personal imprese of relatives who lived in the sixteenth century. KEYWORDS: pomegranate, devices, royal clemency, Henry IV, Catholic Monarchs, Catherine of Aragon, Charles V, Phili…

An approach towards the visual culture of the Barroque festival : portraits of visual presences
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…
