Images of Discord. Poetics and Politics of the Sacred Image in Fifteenth-Century Spain
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2019 Hardback, 312 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:12 b/w, 62 col., 3 tables b/w., Languages: English, Spanish, Latin. ISBN 9781909400337.
Summary Felipe Pereda reconstructs the history of religious art in Spain between two crucial dates in the "politics of the image" enforced by the "Reyes Católicos": 1478 and 1501. By focusing first on Seville, then on Granada Pereda evokes the first moments of the institution of the "Santo Oficio" and its later developments. In both cities, the local authorities had established the obligation for citizens to keep religious images within their houses. In Seville, the authorities in particular targeted the "marranos" (Jewish converts); in Granada, the new "moriscos" (converted Muslims). In both cases, the edicts emanated from the confessor of Queen Isabella of Castile, Fray Hernando de Talavera, himself of "converso" origin. At the intersection of social history and intellectual history, Images of Discord shows in which ways religious and social conflicts determined the status and development of sacred art in late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century Castile and Andalusia and, more broadly, the history of Spanish art in the early modern period.
Crime and Illusion. The Art of Truth in the Spanish Golden Age
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2019 Hardback, 336 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:11 b/w, 118 col., Language: English. ISBN 9781912554096.
Summary According to an old historiographic tradition, the Spanish Golden Age placed the imitation of nature at the service of religion: its radical naturalism responded to the deep faith of that culture and moment. Crime & Illusion argues the opposite. It defends the thesis that the fundamental problem artists of the Golden Age confronted was not imitation but Truth. Moreover a large part, maybe the best part, of Spanish Baroque religious imagery is better understood as a complex exercise in addressing the spectators' doubts. Hovering on the horizon of an emerging empiricism, artists created their images as pieces of evidence, arguments for belief. Crime & Illusion reconstructs and interprets this judicial or forensic aspect of early modern visual culture at the center of a political, religious, and scientific triangle. Finally, the book explores the artists' skeptical reflection on the problematic relationship of painting and sculpture to the art of truth.
