Description of  Applied Emblems in the Cathedral of Lugo: European Sources for a Spanish Cycle Addressed to the Virgin Mary (Brill s Studies on Art, Art History, and Intellectual History, 51)

9004359516 pdf In Applied Emblems in the Cathedral of Lugo, Carme Lpez Caldern explores the emblematic programme found in the Chapel of Nuestra Seora de los Ojos Grandes (Galicia, Spain), consisting of fifty-eight emblems painted c. 1735. Making use of a wide range of printed sources, the author delves into the meaning of each emblem and provides an all-encompassing interpretation of this cycle, which can rightly be described as the richest and most complete programme of Marian applied emblematics in the Iberian Peninsula.
