The iconography of Saint John the Evangelist in the Granada sculpture during Naturalism
Journal Title: UcoArte. Revista de Teoría e Historia del Arte - Year 2020, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
One of the most important hagiographic iconographies in Christian art is that of Saint John the Evangelist. By means of this article it is tried to review it in the beginnings of the sculpture of the Granada school at the end of century 16th and the start of the 17th. The model repeated almost exclusively will be related to the scene of Calvary. The historical events and the peculiar context of the recently conquered Granada, will determine the use of this prototype of sculpture in favor of the evangelization of the territory. Along with well-known sculptures, in this journey by joanic iconographic type, new pieces are presented trying to propose an attribution to them.
