- Title
San Francisco de Borja: La formación de una imagen.
- Authors
Rodríguez G. de Ceballos, Alfonso
- Abstract
On the occasion of the canonization of Saint Francisco de Borja engraved prints were not published of his life and miraculous deeds, so that artists could not come to this source of inspiration for paint and sculptures, but were complied with the biographies of Borja written by P. de Ribadeneira, J. E. Nieremberg and A. Cienfuegos. In these was highlighted the so-called "conversion" of Borja during the funeral of the Empress Elisabeth in Granada, which in turn caught the attention of artists because of its dramatic character, who represented this scene many times and took the main iconographic attributes to compose the image of the new saint. This paper will revisit the paints and sculptures related to the "conversión", but also other episodes and miraculous events of the life and after the Borja's death that were painted or sculpted from the seventeenth century until today.
