Lamentos al son del arpa. La imagen del rey David penitente en la pintura valenciana del Barroco
2015
Este artículo parte de dos lienzos de Pablo Pontons y Vicente Guilló para el estudio de la imagen del rey David, especialmente en su tipo iconográfico de David penitente. Formulado originalmente en las miniaturas medievales que se apoyaban en su papel de salmista y fundador de la música sacra, esta tipología tomó episodios de su vida que se convirtieron en modelos de penitencia. El trabajo estudia la tradición cultural convencionalizada de la gura de David, su patronazgo musical y la continuidad del tipo del rey penitente en el Barroco, tanto en grabados como en programas visuales como los de Pontons y Guilló para Morella y Alcalà de Xivert, respectivamente. Este uso didáctico per…
Cycles of time in the Iberian culture: the astronomical orientation of the temple of El Tossal de Sant Miquel de Llíria
2006
We present an archaeoastronomical study of the temple of the Iberian settlement of El Tossal de Sant Miquel de Llíria (València). We find that the major axis of the building is oriented very close to the east-west cardinal axis. The entrance of the temple is pointing towards an outstanding mountain on the eastern horizon, where the sunrise around the equinoxes takes place. On the other hand, the absence of other constructions just in front of the cultic building seems to support the inference that the astronomical relation was intentional, because it would permit the observation of the sunrise from the temple. The existence of other nearby Iberian sanctuaries showing similar relations with …

Immagini devote del popolo indiano
2008
This volume, with the preface by Giovanni Filoramo, collects some of the sacred images of "Hinduism" of other religions born in India (Shikism, Buddhism), exhibited during the exhibition of the same name at the Antonio Pasqualino International Puppet Museum from November 22 to December 31. 2007. These cult images are venerated in temples, in private homes and on the streets throughout India. The central idea was to show the iconographic path that these paintings (or photographs) have had in the popular imagination. An informative caption corresponds to each "portrait".
Sacred Music Production and Circulation in Sixteenth-Century Palermo: The Inventories of Giovanni Santoro (1550) and Luis Ruiz (1595)
2016
L'importanza degli inventari per lo studio della vita musicale a Palermo è stata riconosciuta soltanto di recente. Nonostante la natura frammentaria dei dati, questi documenti forniscono informazioni di rilievo sulle edizioni musicali, sugli strumenti, sulla cultura materiale che li produceva, nonché sulla circolazione della musica. Considerata la mancanza di testimoni musicali siciliani tra Cinque e Settecento, tale importanza appare ancor più evidente. Difatti, gli inventari palermitani testimoniano la presenza di libri di musica non più esistenti, in particolare musica a stampa, ma anche manoscritti e libri liturgici. L'articolo si sofferma su due inventari del Cinquecento. Il primo è l'…
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…

The Aesthetics of Healing in the Sacredness of the African American Female’s Bible: Zora Neale Hurston’s Moses, Man of the Mountain
2016
Zora Neale Hurston’s Moses, Man of the Mountain (1939) stands in the tradition of African American use of the biblical musings that aims to relativize and yet uphold a new version of the sacred story under the gaze of a black woman that manipulates and admonishes the characters of the gospel to offer a feminist side of the Bible. The novel discloses Hurston’s mastering of the aesthetics that black folklore infused to the African American cultural experience and her accommodation to bring to the fore the needed voice of black women. Rejecting the role of religion as a reductive mode of social protest, the novel extends its jeremiadic ethos and evolves into a black feminist manifesto in which…
FROM Δηομένη TO Madonna dell’Itria... AND VICEVERSA. TWO MARIAN ICONOGRAPHIES SUPERIMPOSED IN A “PALIMPSEST WALL” OF MARSALA (TP)
2019
During a recent restoration in an underground chapel in Marsala (TP), the wall to which the altar is attached proved to be a palimpsest of several layers. The oldest dated back from the late twelfth to early thirteenth century displaying a “velarium” in the lower register. Overhead we see a Madonna in prayer (Δηομένη) preceded by a theory of Saints. A second layer, from the 15th century, decisively changes the original iconography thus transforming it into the typically Sicilian iconography of the “Madonna dell’Itria”. The Child, positioned in the center of the Mother’s breast, sits inside a chest supported by two old chants. The latter devotional image, due to the perishability of the plas…
