Laurentius Lotus [Lorenzo Lotto]. De Amore
2014
ABSTRACT: In the study presented here of some portraits by Lorenzo Lotto, I have attempted to establish a reading of the image, of the details that the artist offers us in his canvas which, to my way of thinking, orient us towards the semantic meaning of the painting. In this concrete case I deal with the theme of love. This entails, therefore, an in-depth exploration of the story that the artist wishes to consider through his work, with the aim of recording and classifying the image by analyzing both its graphic as well as literary precedents. KEY WORDS: Lorenzo Lotto, Portrait, Love, Allegory, Iconography. RESUMEN: En el estudio presentado aqui sobre algunos retratos de Lorenzo Lotto, se …
Imagen y palabra en la devoción al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús: un cuadro de P. Battoni y un poema de F. Arévalo
2016
ABSRACT: In this study I relate the building of the Basilica of Estrela (Lisbon) to the painting by Pompeo Battoni and the poem by Faustino Arevalo, both dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, whose worship, suffering a similar fate to that of the suppressed Society of Jesus (1773), went beyond the ecclesiastical sphere and became a source of controversy in the secular milieu of the period. KEYWORDS: P. Battoni, F. Arevalo, Sacred Heart of Jesus, Jesuits. RESUMEN: En este trabajo se relacionan la construccion de la basilica de la Estrela (Lisboa) y, especialmente, el cuadro de Pompeo Battoni y el poema de Faustino Arevalo, dedicados estos ultimos al Sagrado Corazon de Jesus, cuyo culto, co…
L´on faict sçavoir que l´on vendra. El anuncio y catálogo impreso de la subasta de pinturas del Príncipe de Portugal (Bruselas, 1670)
2018
ABSTRACT: In 1670, in Brussels, a printed advertisement announced the auction of a valuable set of a hundred paintings, property of the late Fernando Alejandro de Portugal. A printed broadside announced the sale, and included the names of the artists and titles of the works, as well as their formats and the material form of the pieces, in some cases. Therefore, the advertisement is also an auction catalogue, one of the first to be printed in early modern Europe. This article seeks to tell the story of the print history of the humble broadside as advertisement and catalogue, as well as its content and information on the owners of this extraordinary collection of paintings.

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…
Los fundamentos de la visualidad de la Prudencia
2015
ABSTRACT: Prudence, as one of the cardinal virtues, is a theme that has been dealt with by numerous thinkers ever since Antiquity. Its broad treatment with regards to different aspects, such as time, governance, selection or advice, has been the object of many visual representations, which show a great variety of attributes, the foundations of which we find in written sources. KEYWORDS: Prudence, Cardinal Virtues. RESUMEN: La Prudencia, como parte de las virtudes cardinales, ha sido tema a tratar por diferentes pensadores desde la Antiguedad. Su amplia consideracion, en relacion a diferentes aspectos, como el tiempo, el gobierno, la eleccion o el consejo, ha sido fruto de numerosas represen…

Los icones de varones ilustres: un género emblemático
2015
ABSTRACT: In this study I analyze a group of books structured around a variant of the classical emblem based upon an illustrious personage, in which a portrait serves as the pictura and the name constitutes the motto. My purpose is to introduce what I consider to be a subgenre of emblematic literature and highlight some of its major works. I hope to spur interest in the further study of this subgenre, and thus move towards a more suitable conceptualization of the emblem for the purpose of its scientific analysis. KEYWORDS: icons, illustrious men, portrait, emblem theory RESUMEN: En este articulo se analiza un grupo de libros estructurados con una variante del emblema clasico construida en t…
Las pinturas alegórico-mitológicas del palacio Palmerola de Barcelona y su relación con Cesare Ripa
2019
ABSTRACT: This study unveils the meaning of the allegorical-mythological murals, shaped like false sculptures, which frame the scenes of a historical-familial nature decorating the salon of the Palmerola Palace in Barcelona. They were painted at the end of the XVIIIth century by Pedro Pablo Montaña, whose primary literary source was the Iconologyby Cesare Ripa. Based on this text, the painter builds the visual language, whose fidelity to the source is a paradigmatic example of utilization of this source. My research also results in the correction of previous misinterpretations, thus offering a richer and more comprehensive view of the pictorial ensemble.
