The mural paintings in the chapel of Las Ánimas in San Juan Bautista's Church in Malaga and their correspondence with a Genoese artwork
Journal Title: UcoArte. Revista de Teoría e Historia del Arte - Year 2021, Vol 10, Issue 8
Abstract
Still hidden and awaiting their pertinent restoration, the mural paintings found on the walls of the dressing room of the chapel of Souls in the church of San Juan Bautista in the city of Malaga, make up one of the few examples preserved in the city of illusionist pictorial ornamentation inside a temple. Despite its current state, the tastings carried out have allowed us to briefly decipher its composition as a portico open to a natural landscape in which some historical buildings emerge. The comparative study of these elements with the similar decoration of the Genoese chapel of the Tobia Pallavicino palace implies the opening of new avenues of research into the origin of the Malaga paintings and their correspondence with those of the ligurian monument.
