El ritual de la dedicación de la iglesia en los pontificales medievales y su ciclo iconográfico
2014
ABSTRACT: The 12 th century saw the culmination of a massive reform movement within the Church, intended both to reinforce the figures of the Pope and bishops and to standardise the Western European liturgy, based on the one utilized at that time in the papal chapel. To this end, a number of books were published, among which was a new version of the pontifical, accompanied by an iconographic cycle in which the descriptive dimension of the portrayals stands out prominently to support the text in its task of ritual codification. The aim of this study is to analyse the iconographic cycle that depicts the ritual of church dedication and its relationship with the rubrics described in the rites. …
Imagen e iconografía en las exequias del príncipe Baltasar Carlos en Zaragoza en 1646.
2014
ABSTRACT: This article studies the ceremonial funeral rites for Prince Baltasar Carlos of Austria, son of Philip IV and the hope for the healing of a monarchy in crisis, in the exequies celebrated in the city of Zaragoza, where the young heir to the throne died shortly before his seventeenth birthday, in 1646. The monumental catafalque erected in the plaza of the market place (a fantastic ephemeral tumulus characterized by a splendid Baroque architecture full of symbols), demonstrates the magnificence with which the death of such a beloved prince was presented to the public, in the second third of the seventeenth century.

Mythological Themes in Artworks of Ernests Brastins and Arvids Brastins
2014
The aim of the study is to analyse artwork of Ernests Brastins (1892-1942) and Arvids Brastins (1893-1984) from the point of view of content and iconology, and the formal structure of work, which helps to reveal the author’s ideological direction. Using the comparative method, the visual text (artwork) is compared to the verbal (folklore) text, in an attempt to find parallels to the way they reflect Latvian mythological conceptions. An appropriate folksongs and beliefs are chosen for the artwork selected for the analysis, which serve as an explanatory material for the subject. The elements included in the work compositions are analyzed in the context of Latvian symbolic representations of n…
Słowo, które staje się obrazem, w tradycji chrześcijan syryjskich
2017
Word which becomes an image in the tradition of Syriac Christians. The paper examines the subject of figurative art in the theological space of the tradition of Syriac Churches. Even if in the early stage of their existence those communities were an integral part of Byzantine Empire, they developed a totally different pattern of the imaging, which didn’t consist in icons or in the other forms of the traditional art. The main focus of the Syriac theological painting was to use the written word. Such an approach wasn’t a result of any prohibition inherited from the Jewish tradition or of an internal iconoclasm, but it arises from the mentality and spiritual sensitivity of the people from the …
Humility: Virgin or Virtue?
2021
Este trabajo considera la iconografía mariana en la que se representa a la Virgen sentada en el suelo, conocida como la Virgen de la Humildad. La creación de este tipo mariano coincide con la sistematización de las virtudes de Santo Tomás, que dio lugar a una disminución en la importancia de la virtud de la humildad. La combinación de ambas tradiciones culturales ha llevado a una correspondencia entre la virtud de la Humildad y las imágenes de la Virgen de la Humildad. La génesis de este último tipo se basa en las fuentes textuales y parte de la representación visual de la Humildad, que fue sustituida durante los siglos XIV y XV. GV/2021/123 This paper considers Marian iconography in which …
Spanish Darwinian iconography: Darwin and evolutionism portrayed in Spanish press cartoons.
2013
The theory of evolution has played a major role in the press since it was put forward by Charles Darwin in 1859. Its key role in biology and human philosophy is reflected by its presence in press cartoons, sections where the image of social reality is depicted in a more direct and satirical light. Through cartoons, artists have used their ingenuity or wit to portray one of the most controversial scientific figures of the past two centuries. This study examines the views portrayed by Spanish cartoonists about Charles Darwin and evolutionary theory in 2009, the bicentenary of the naturalist’s birth and the celebration of 150 years since the publication of On the Origin of Species. These cart…
Necrológica del <i>Outsider</i> Reinhart Koselleck: el «historiador pensante» y las polémicas de los historiadores
2007
Reinhart Koselleck is an author difficult to classify, since his conceptual history is rejected, and at the same time taken advantage of, by both philosophy and historiography. This paper analyses Koselleck’s attitude, sometimes tactful, at other times passionate, towards the polemics of the historians and philosophers of his country, and particularly towards the controversy concerning the involvement of both groups in Nazism—a controversy that has provoked a debate, still open, about the affections and disaffections between the science which studies the past, and memory, and has also unleashed a dispute about memorials motivated by the monument to the victims of the Holocaust. Koselleck tr…

2021
The study analyzes and proposes in the historical and in the area immediately to it adjacent, the "values-nature" of the buildings through the creation of gardens wall and vertical gardens in the elevatiloy of non-monumental buildings.

It also deepens the concept of resilience in close relationship sustainability and regenerative design applied to the built environment. The theme of regenerative design is studied and promoted as an adaptive strategy at the design stage; it requires you to leave nature stre…
Lo studio della scultura romana come strumento di conoscenza dell’antico in Luigi Ferdinando Marsili: la Dissertazione sopra la Tavola Annonaria
2016
La Dissertazione sopra la Tavola Annonaria è un saggio nel quale lo scienziato Luigi Ferdinando Marsili (1658-1730) descrisse un rilievo di età romana di sua proprietà, raffigurante scene relative alla produzione del pane. Si tratta di un testo che non era ancora stato esaminato a fondo nella sua interezza. Attraverso un’analisi serrata, ricca di rimandi alle testimonianze letterarie e di confronti con altre opere di scultura romane, Marsili dimostra il suo interesse per il mondo antico e il metodo rigoroso che applicava nei suoi studi.
