SANTIAGO SILVA, José de y GONZALEZ MELLO, Renato. The Picture Galleries and the Word Labyrinth: The Academia de San Carlos and José Bernardo Couto’s Diálogo sobre la historia de la pintura en México. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2023, vol.45, n.123, pp.179-234. Epub 08-Nov-2024. ISSN 0185-1276. https://doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.2023.123.2834.
This article consists of two parts. The first analyzes the consequences of the nineteenth Century nationalization of Mexican ecclesiastical property as expounded in the political and other writings of the conservative intellectual and President of the Academy of San Carlos, José Bernardo Couto. This is followed by a comparison between the Academys Galleries, the Prado Museum, and the Louvre regarding their collections and the arrangement of them. This leads us to focus on the similarities between the secularization processes as they affected these institutions and that prevailing in Mexico. Special attention is given to the cataloging of the expropriated works of art. The second section hypothesizes that digitalization is not sustained by a spatial paradigm for the registering and organizing of art collections, such a system being replaced by a lexicological paradigm. A comparison between different dictionaries and authority files, being the Tesauros del Patrimonio Cultural de España, the Spanish translation of the Getty’s Art and Architecture Thesaurus, and the hierarchy and vocabulary published by Antonio Palomino in the Museo pictórico y escala óptica, leads the authors to a somewhat pessimistic view on the immediate future of the frantic efforts of heritage cataloging worldwide. However, the piece ends proposing the use of AI tools to enhance the search of analogous/historical terms, and foresees that such a paradigm shift might resuscitate a comparative system for the displaying of artworks, similar to the one that prevailed previously in the historic galleries of the Louvre and the Viennese Kunsthistorische Museum.
