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…
Iconología y cine. Construcción fílmica de María Magdalena en la película Rey de reyes de Cecil B. DeMille
2013
ABSTRACT: Several methodologies have been used for the study of film. This article seeks to introduce a methodology that, in spite of a long tradition of critical approaches, has been little explored in this area: that of iconology. The elements of iconological tradition will serve as tools to approach the construction of Mary Magdalene’s character in the film directed by Cecil B. DeMille in 1927: King of Kings. I first justify the possibility of applying iconology to cinematographic media and especially to religious films. I next demonstrate the analysis scheme and the analysis results. In addition, I emphasize the different phases of continuity and variation in Mary Magdalene’s character.…
