Abstract

This book treats Rome, the arts and religious culture in Italy in the century or so after the Council of Trent. In that era, clerical bureaucrats may have sought to impose control and uniformity, but nine original essays in this volume demonstrate continuing vitality of a wide range of creative artistic production. The book is illustrated with more than 50 reproductions. Part I and II explore themes of Italian Artists as Saints and Sinners, and Arts of Sanctity, Suffering, and Sensuality in Italy. Part III, Italy and Beyond: Rome and Global Catholic Culture, acknowledges world-wide dimensions of early modern Catholicism. From Rome to Eternity elucidates the rich and multifaceted character of Catholicism in Italy, ca. 1550-1650. Papal Rome spoke, but even as Italian Catholics listened, they themselves also spoke, and wrote, sang, acted, painted. Contributors include: Michael A. Zampelli, Gauvin Alexander Bailey, Fiora A. Bassanese, Peter Burke, James Clifton, Sheldon Grossman, Pamela Jones, Robert L. Kendrick, David M. Stone, and Thomas Worcester.

Abstract

El imperio de los Habsburgo, asentado en el siglo xvi sobre el Sacro Imperio y la Monarquía Hispánica y de vocación hegemónica y universal, hizo de la militancia católica su principal signo de identidad. Una leyenda atribuida en el siglo xiv al conde Rodolfo I de Habsburgo, coronado Rey de Romanos en 1273, narraba un episodio profético que marcaría el devenir de su linaje. La Pietas Austriaca fue como se llamó desde la Edad Media a la devoción cristiana de la Casa de Austria y se apoyaba fundamentalmente en la defensa incuestionable de los misterios católicos. A partir de Maximiliano I y a lo largo de los reinados de sus sucesores, una serie de apariciones milagrosas y portentos se sucederían en Europa y América contra herejes, infieles y paganos. La relevancia de la Virgen de la Victoria en la guerra de Granada, del apóstol Santiago en las campañas africanas, de la Virgen de Guadalupe en la evangelización de México, de la Virgen del Rosario en la batalla de Lepanto, de la Virgen Inmaculada en el conflicto de Flandes, o la llegada al Escorial de la Hostia profanada en Gorkum, son buenos ejemplos de la sacralización de la política llevada a cabo por Carlos V y Felipe II. Durante el siglo xvii procesos como las juras inmaculistas, la canonización de determinados santos de la Contrarreforma o la santificación de Fernando III de Castilla son asimismo testimonios de cultos convertidos por los Austrias hispanos en cuestión de Estado.

Abstract

Götzenbild oder Skulptur? Seit dem neunten Jahrhundert voll-zieht sich ein grundlegender Wandel in der abendländischen Bildkultur: Monumentale Skulptu-ren erfahren – anders als in By-zanz – ein Wiederaufleben in der europäischen Kunst. Die wohl älteste erhaltene christ-liche Statue des Mittelalters ist die heilige Fides von Conques, die die ambivalente Haltung gegenüber Bildern exemplarisch verdeutlicht. Am Beispiel dieser Statue rekonstruiert Beate Fricke die Kontexte der Entwicklung eines westlichen Bildverständnis-ses, von der Genealogie von Skulptur bis zum Blickwechsel und Gabentausch mit Bildern im Kult. Die heilige Fides gleicht mehr einem heidnischen Idol oder einem antiken Herrscher als einer jungen frühchristlichen Heiligen. Ihr Bild, ihre Wunderberichte sind zusammen mit Konzilsakten, Chroniken und Heiligenviten die Zeugen einer Vorgeschichte von Aisthesis: von Wahrnehmung und Wirklichkeit im Mittelalter.

Abstract

For nearly five centuries, lay religious groups throughout the Spanish-speaking world have staged elaborate public processions commemorating the events of Christ's passion during Holy Week. In the Golden Age, such processions featured extraordinarily lifelike sculpted images that were naturalistically painted, elaborately clothed and adorned, and surrounded by convincing stage properties and scenography--all of which combined to create a profound impression on spectators. Long dismissed as a minor form of popular art, these polychrome wood sculptures emerge from this book as a unique genre, one that can be best understood within its ritual context. Here, Susan Verdi Webster explores the Holy Week processions of penitential confraternities in Golden-Age Seville, for which many of Spain's greatest sculptors created some of the most illusionistic works ever. She demonstrates how the pivotal role of the sculptures in procession transformed them from carved wooden objects to catalysts for intense spiritual and emotional experiences shared by spectators in the streets.Drawing on extensive archival evidence and contemporary chronicles, Webster is among the first to examine in depth Spanish processional sculpture, its patrons, and its ritual function. Her inquiry wends through a kaleidoscopic variety of arenas--artistic, religious, social, cultural, and political--to provide a fascinating perspective on popular religious devotion in Golden-Age Spain and on a previously undervalued dimension of Spanish sculpture.
