- Title
De lo marginal en el arte y su sentido moral: las bichas desplazadas en algunos retablos barrocos de Huesca.
- Authors
FONTANA CALV, Celia
- Abstract
This paper analyzes the moral content of the bichas sculpted in the altarpieces of Saint Lawrence and Saint Bernard, built for the church of Saint Lawrence of Huesca in the middle of the 17th century, within the framework of the dialectical and oppositional relationship that usually exists between the center and the margins in works of art. The titular saints of both pieces embody the good and appear before their devotees as the suitable mediators to obtain their salvation, while the bichas, displaced to the sides and characterized as their opposites, represent the evil, although due to their attractiveness, sometimes, it may seem otherwise.
