Historiographical review on a ceramic production center in the Northeast of the Iberian Peninsula: Faro de Limanes (Oviedo, Asturias)

Francisco Lara Piñera — 2025-06-27

The pottery center of Faro de Limanes stands as one of the most significant ceramic producers from the 11th century to the present day in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Its ceramics have played a daily role in Asturian medieval, modern, and contemporary society for at least a millennium, bearing witness to its changes and transformations. In this work, we conduct a historiographical analysis of studies on the center and its ceramics, periodizing them into three phases from the initial works in the late 19th century to the present. Through a diachronic reading of the works, we aim to present the pursued research trends and the possibilities for future studies.

The missing passage between the Casa de Pilatos in Seville and the parish church of San Esteban: its execution in 1565

Carmen Vallecillo López — 2025-06-27

The present article reveals an element, unfortunately disappeared, that had transcendence in the urbanism and the architecture sevillana, to constitute as a heritage of the architecture hispano-muslim. The passage or transit that connected the palace of the Adelantados of Andalusia with the parish of San Esteban, in addition to its corresponding tribune inside this, did not until now have a specific dating. It will be seen how Maria Enríquez, Marquise of Villanueva del Fresno, orders to build these elements currently disappeared, in the year 1565, at which time I Duke of Alcalá occupies his position of Viceroy of Naples.

Pathways and itineraries in the work of a Renaissance artist: the example of the Llanes-Olivares Master

Irune Fiz Fuertes — 2025-06-27

The purpose of this paper is to establish a connection between various anonymous Castilian painters, grouped under the figures of the Master of Llanes, the Master of Olivares and the Master of Roa, a production that has so far been approached in a fragmentary manner but which forms a unitary whole. Emphasis will also be placed on the vicissitudes suffered from the 20th century to the present day by the panels of one of the altarpieces grouped together here, and then attention will be paid to the routes followed by the artists to develop their work in such a vast territory

News about Sevillian painting in the 18th century: the artistic promotion of the Primi-tiva y Real Hermandad de la Divina Pastora de Sevilla (1714-1750)

Francisco José Martín López — 2025-06-27

The capuchin friar Fray Isidoro de Sevilla (1662-1750) conceived a new devotion to the Virgin as the Shepher-dess of Souls and founded its first brotherhood in the parish of Santa Marina in Seville. This institution gained great prestige from its very foundation, further enhanced by its connection to King Philip V, the royal family, and the high court aristocracy during the Royal Five-Year Period. Its significance was reflected in an interesting artistic promotion throughout the entire century, particularly in mural and easel painting during the first half of the 18th century. In this context, there are reports on the painters Lucas de Valdés, Cristóbal de León, Domingo Martínez, Juan Ruiz Soriano, Juan de Espinal, and Bernardo Lorente Germán.

Español A few notes on the artists of the village of Noya in the first half of the 18th century

Luis Ángel Bermúdez Fernández — 2025-06-27

The village of Noya, located in the southwest of the province of La Coruña, was an important artistic center during the eighteenth century, coming second to the city of Santiago de Compostela. Thanks to the works and reforms in the temples promoted by the different parishes or sponsored by the pious associations, the artists from Noya moved around the Galician geography in order to attend the high demand of necessary patrimony that furnished the churches. Thus, it would be desirable to provide some information about their existence, to understand their origin, their relationship with their colleagues and to know how to place them in some sagas where succeed a good number of artists, whose work has yet to be studied in depth.

Demetrio de los Ríos y las primeras propuestas para la restauración de la catedral de Burgos (1884-1887)

Juan Escorial Esgueva — 2025-06-27

In 1884, the architect Demetrio de los Ríos y Serrano (1827–1892), who was the director of the restoration works of the León Cathedral, was commissioned to study the condition of the spires of the Burgos Cathedral and propose the necessary works to ensure their preservation. To this end, he developed an ambitious project that, for the first time, proposed restoring the building from a Viollet-le-Duc perspective, eliminating all the elements that had been added to the structure over the centuries and thus recovering its supposed original appearance. Although the project was not carried out, it led to the building being declared a National Monument in 1885, and some of the aspects outlined by Demetrio de los Ríos would later be incorporated into the works undertaken by Ricardo Velázquez Bosco and Vicente Lampérez y Romea.

Austrian architectural Art Nouveau in the Spanish Fin-de-siècle

María Mestre-Martí — 2025-06-27

This paper deals with the appropriation of Jugendstil architecture from Vienna by some Spanish architects at the beginning of the 20th century. Starting from the historical context, it analyses to what extent the stricter, geometric and constructive version of Jugendstil developed in Austro-Hungarian Emprire was an option for defining Spanish modern architecture at the beginning of the century. Spanish society, committed to national renewal and disinclined to import exotic styles, nevertheless embraced Viennese models as an expression of modernity. However, with the exception of some pioneering achievements in the history of Spanish architecture, the adoption of the Viennese style remained somewhat epidermal, as the modernity brought by the Jugendstil in Vienna (both constructive and spatial) was not perceived in Spain.

Metals, Bas-Reliefs, and Faith: Religious Medals as a Tool for Promoting Devo- tion to Saint Giovanni Bosco in Early 20th-Century Italy (1907-1934)

Ana Martín García — 2025-06-27

This research focuses on the analysis of the phenomenon of the creation of the first religious medals of Saint Giovanni Bosco in early 20th-century Italy, specifically between 1907 and 1934, which were made with the purpose of promoting and fostering devotion to the saint. The article examines an area of research that has not been considered by the general discipline of Art History or, in this case, by Salesian history studies.

Aerialphotography for the study of heritage, urban planning and rural landscape: the collection of the National Archive of Catalonia for the city of Cáceres

José Maldonado Escribano — 2025-06-27

There are various ways to study historical and artistic heritage and urban planning, one of them being aerial photography. In this case, we do so using the collection held at the National Archives of Catalonia, which has organized into several collections the images captured by TAF Helicópteros S. A. in the 1950s, flying over the city of Cáceres and its surroundings, as well as many other places in Spain. In this way, we will gain insight into how the expansion of neighborhoods and other areas in the urban landscape of Cáceres prospered, as well as the country houses and castles located in pastures to the south of the city. We will explore the information provided by these visual documents to understand the degree of conservation of these buildings and the shape the city has taken following urban expansion since the late 19th century.

The double façade of the Norba Cinema in Cáceres as an icon: the cinematograph designs by architect Ángel Pérez Rodríguez

Angélica García-Manso — 2025-06-27

There are two broadly distinguishable stages in the work of the Riojan-born architect Ángel Pérez Rodríguez,
based in Cáceres, with the Spanish Civil War as the hinge between the two. The first stage, the most creative, is the
Norba Cinema, with its double façade and powerful relief lettering, as well as its original synthesis of ‘nouveau’
and ‘deco’, located in a widening area also designed by the same architect. The second, more conservative, is the
Morán cinema in Malpartida de Cáceres.

The History Museum of Madrid. From Luis Bellido to Juan Pablo Rodríguez Frade

Miguel Peon Alonso — 2025-06-27

The Madrid History Museum, about to celebrate its centenary, faces the future with a new museographic image. In this article we try to analyze the architectural interventions carried out in the building of the old Real Hospicio during its almost one hundred years of existence, first as a Municipal Museum and then as a Museum of History of Madrid, focusing on the works of Juan Pablo Rodríguez Frade who has tried to offer an innovative aesthetic.

The material legacy of the immaterial: the case of the Selección de Euskadi de Arte de Concepto (1994 - 1998)

Sheila Portilla Prado — 2025-06-27

This article proposes an analysis of the material legacy of the Basque collective Selección de Euskadi de Arte
de Concepto (SEAC), which is stored in the Artium museum (Vitoria), but has hardly been studied or exhibited.
In addition to the relevance of the collective’s production and trajectory, the importance of the vestige will also
be analyzed in order to investigate these works of an ephemeral nature that are included in what is called participatory
art.

Negative Aesthetics and the Degradation (Decomposition and Death) of the Body in Contemporary Art

Marcelino García Sedano — 2025-06-27

Some contemporary artistic expressions base their discourses on the body to draw attention to its fragility,
perishability, and subjugation in various areas of contemporary life. The presence of body degradation or its
representation in a non-canonical way, at the antipodes of beauty, has an expressive and reflective impact on
these aspects that develop from the incorporation of negative aesthetic categories such as the grotesque or the
abject, characteristics of the processes of decomposition and death of the individual in its material dimension. This
characterizes a radical art that introduces chaos into form and opposes the dominant reason and the existential
issues that emanate from it.

Art and Surveillance: Creative Explorations in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

J.A. Vetedor-Romero — 2025-06-27

The article explores how digital media and artificial intelligence (AI) have transformed surveillance and control
mechanisms in contemporary society from the perspective of artistic creation. Hyperconnectivity through the
Internet offers artists unprecedented opportunities but also raises serious privacy concerns. Artistic practice is
influenced by automation and content generation, challenging traditional notions of authorship and originality.
This framework raises profound questions about its impact on social, economic, cultural, and political life. Art
becomes a tool for critical reflection and resistance against this surveillance. Both artists and the public must
engage in this dialogue to preserve individual and collective freedom in an increasingly observed world. The
essential question is how this state can significantly influence contemporary society.
