Attributed and unpublished works by Juan Bautista Vázquez El Viejo and his workshop in the Kingdom of Seville
Journal Title: UcoArte. Revista de Teoría e Historia del Arte - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
In this article several new works to be found in the old diocese of Seville, they are attributed to the sculptor Juan Bautista Vázquez “el Viejo” (for example, the images of Saint Sebastian which is located in the Church of San Francisco of Carmona and of Saint Anthony Abbot of Santa Maria Church in Carmona). These pieces show features which are similar to other known works of this sculptor. This article also studies the images of St. John the Evangelist in the Dulce Nombre Chapel of Seville. Although this work has been dealt with in previous articles, to date it has not been sufficiently studied. An analysis of three further works is also included, namely, Saint Anne, Saint Barbara and God the Father, because they are closely related to artists who moved in the same circle as Vasquez. Besides this comparative method, which has allowed me to identify the various works, I have also undertaken an analysis of different iconographies.
