Abstract
En el último cuarto del siglo XVIII se
va a extender en la retablística española el
uso del estuco. Los dictámenes neoclásicos
imperantes, unidos a las reales órdenes
emanadas desde la Corte, propiciarán la
utilización de materiales pétreos nobles,
que no siempre podían ser sufragados. Por
tanto, este componente menos costoso,
venía a conciliar las exigencias normativas
con los presupuestos más humildes. Es en
este contexto donde debemos situar el retablo
del Santísimo Cristo atado a la columna,
de la parroquial granadina de San Pedro y
San Pablo. Mediante este trabajo, sacamos
a la luz datos inéditos de esta obra de Tomás
Hermoso, terminada en 1796.
In the last quarter of the eighteenth century, the use of stucco in Spanish altarpieces became common. The prevailing neo-classical sensibility, together with actual orders from the Court, fostered the use of stone materials, whose cost could not always be borne. Stucco, a less expensive material, reconciled regulatory demands with the most humble budgets. It is in this context that we must place the Holy Christ tied to a column altarpiece in the Granada parish of San Pedro and San Pablo. In the present article, we cast light on unpublished data dealing with this beautiful altarpiece by Tomás Hermoso, completed in 1796.
