Escribió a Italia. Vinieron los pintores’
In this article, I place Velázquez's Las meninas in the context of Baroque illusionism, specifically Baroque quadratura as exemplified by two of its greatest practitioners, Angelo Michele Colonna and Agostino Mitelli, who Velázquez was instrumental in bringing to Madrid. In so situating Las meninas, I argue that Velázquez's masterpiece was, in part, his magisterial response to the creative challenge posed by the distinctive form of spatial illusi…
Sacred Images and Their Contexts
These two distinct but complimentary papers analyse canvases by El Greco (1541–1614) and Daniel Seghers (1590–1661) that depict in different ways religious subject matter. Neither painter was born in Spain, and both received their artistic training outside it, but their religious works were collected and copied avidly in Castile, and became known and influential throughout the Catholic Monarchy and beyond. The aim of the papers is to explore the …
Baroque Stage Curtains
In this article I explore the stage curtain's role in the folding of real and illusionistic space, examining, through Deleuze's notion of the fold, both its function in court theatre to join-yet-separate such spaces and its dynamic relationship with the loa. An analysis of the striking use of the curtain to depict space in Francisco de Bances Candamo's 1687 court production, Duelos de ingenio y fortuna, and a comparison of this with Pedro Calderó…
Baroque Architecture
This article analyses the architectonic rhetoric of Luis de Góngora's Fábula de Polifemo y Galatea through a comparison with Baroque quadratura, the painting of walls and/or ceilings with illusionistic architecture on a one-to-one scale with real space. It draws upon the theories of Baltasar Gracián and, especially, Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski to argue that what links quadratura and such architectonic wit is the manner in which both embody contra…
