Abstract
FRASSANI, Alessia. Transitions: Image and Meaning in Sixteenth-Century Representations of Christ. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2018, vol.40, n.113, pp.117-144. ISSN 0185-1276. https://doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.2018.113.2656.
The essay discusses the peculiar stylistic and iconographic representation of Christ in two images (one sculpted and one painted) from the church of Santo Domingo Yanhuitlán, in the Mixtec highlands of Oaxaca, Mexico. Historical data complement the formal analysis of the artworks and point to the engagement with current issues on the role of sacred images in the post-Reformation period and the local political situation.
Keywords : descent from the cross; Yanhuitlán; passion; Counter-Reformation.
