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…

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.

Cerrando un programa iconográfico. Las hijas de Job en la Capilla de la Virgen de Guadalupe en las Descalzas Reales de Madrid
2020
ABSTRACT: The Chapel of the Virgin of Guadalupe, located in the Monastery of the Royal Discalced Nuns of Madrid, features a complex iconographical program, with the Virgin and the strong women of the Old Testament as its protagonists. This program was executed by the artist Sebastián Herrera Barnuevo, and designed by one of its resident nuns, Sister Ana Dorotea de Austria. This article attempt to shed light an a rather uncommon feminine typology: that of the daughters of Job, Jemima and Keren-happuch by means of the study of the principal literary sources where they are mentioned. By this means I will offer a complete reading of the Chapel’s iconographical program, by establishing the relat…
Emblemática santa en sepulcros barrocos
2016
ABSTRACT: «Sacred Emblematics on Baroque Sepulchres» is a study of urns and reliquaries for Catalan saints. The symbolic language is applied to the funeral container of sacred content, in the specific cases of St. Olegario, St. Armengol, St. Bernard Calbo and St. Mary of Cervello. With them we can refer to three different ways of presenting the sacred iconography in relation to local saints with incorrupt bodies: by means of emblematic literature, hagiography or decorative or heraldic motifs. KEYWORDS: Sepulchre, Reliquary, Incorrupt Saints, Catalonia, Baroque, Iconography. RESUMEN: «Emblematica santa en sepulcros barrocos» es un estudio sobre urnas y relicarios de santos catalanes.

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…
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…
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…
Variación en la imagen de la Prudencia : entre la tradición y la «nueva visualidad»
2020
ABSTRACT: Although Italian influences prevail in the visual tradition of Prudence, beginning in the 15th century a new iconographic type emerges as a result of a «new visuality» deriving from French art. This innovation has been considered «monstrous» and breaking with the preceding visual tradition. However, this new visual manifestation is a result of the continuation of philosophic theories about Prudence. What is more, Italian art offers a response to the «new visuality» with another new iconographic type of the Prudence.

Los retratos de Miguel de Cervantes: de la búsqueda del hombre al triunfo del mito
2017
ABSTRACT : Miguel de Cervantes has his own gallery of images that have come down to posterity, but who painted the portraits of Miguel de Cervantes that have been discovered over the course of time? Beginning with the verbal self-portrait of himself that Cervantes crafts in the prologue of his Novelas ejemplares (1613), this study traces the route of the different portraits sine 1738 that have been claimed as the true image of the author from Alcala de Henares. It is a path that follows along the character known as Miguel de Cervantes, which has imposed itself on the myth, taking precedence over the man who lived during the Golden Age.
