Heraldry and the Discourse on Spiritual Nobility : The Trinity Adored by Saints Justa and Rufina, Philip IV, the Queen, and the Count and Countess of Olivares (1627)
(Jan Thorbecke, 2023) GUILLÉN BERRENDERO, JOSÉ ANTONIO
Political images circulated continuously during the Modern Age and although much remains to be studied – from the perspective of authorship and cultural, political, and eschatological contexts – they enjoyed a broad audience and were clearly understood in their day. These images were very often enhanced by the presence of heraldry and the armorial bearings of kings, noblemen, or ecclesiastical officials. Similarly, religious images were a fitting instrument for symbolically ›conquering‹ the political itineraries of the incipient Modern Age. The image analysed here illustrates the powerful connection between the armorial bearings of a nobleman (the coat of arms of the Count of Olivares), the image of martyred saints Justa and Rufina, the Trinity, and the royal arms of Philip IV. The symbiosis between political and religious imagery in this heraldic print is closely related to forms of Catholic iconography that were deployed as a defence against Protestant iconoclasm. They should be linked to the economy of images and the shaping of a specific intertwined imagery of Catholicism and power. Two iconographic and political phenomena, nobility and religion, were much discussed during the Modern Age, and coats of arms, prints, and iconic imagery related to these topics circulated recurrently throughout all the realms of the Spanish monarchy, inside and outside of Europe.
Retratos de la reputación nobiliaria en el Portugal de la Restauração : La imagen libresca de la familia Sousa = Portraits of the nobiliary reputation in the Portugal of Restauração : the bookish image of Sousa family
(CHAM — Centro de Humanidades / Centre for the Humanities, 2011-06-01) GUILLÉN BERRENDERO, JOSÉ ANTONIO
Genealogías, costados, linajes y/o familia son términos que remiten a la necesidad de comunicar y explicar una identidad propia construida a lo largo del tiempo que encontró en los teóricos de la nobleza, un escenario de definición constante a lo largo de toda la Edad Moderna1. Este texto pretende analizar la forma cómo el apellido Sousa aparece representado dentro de la tradición libresca portuguesa en un periodo convulso y complejo como es que recorre el XVII portugués. Es pues un estudio sobre la idea de nobleza en el Portugal post-Restauração y su plasmación en los libros sobre la familia Sousa. No se analiza toda la producción libresca sobre el apellido, apenas se ofrecen algunos ejemplos sobre la construcción de la imagen de un determinado apellido. Muchos pueden ser los ejemplos, pero pensamos que, con el irme propósito de resultar demasiado prolijo y erudito, nos centramos en unas breves notas que relacionan las noticias sobre el apellido con una idea general sobre lo nobiliario.
