Sulla base del riesame dell’ampia bibliografia e di documentazione inedita, il saggio focalizza l’attenzione sul ruolo svolto in Sardegna dai pittori al tempo dell’arcivescovo di Cagliari Francisco Desquivel (1605-1624), proveniente da Maiorca e protetto dal duca di Lerma. Nel clima di attenta applicazione delle norme tridentine e della delicata controversia per il primato di Sardegna e Corsica, Desquivel coinvolse artisti napoletani, francesi e sardi nelle sue iniziative tese alla promozione religiosa e culturale del territorio sottoposto al suo governo, di volta in volta come periti d’arte e consulenti d’iconografia, esperti paleografi, disegnatori e progettisti, ritrattisti e illustratori. L’acuto interesse per le reliquie e per il prestigio della propria casata portò anche il viceré di Sardegna, il valenzano Carlos de Borja, duca di Gandía (1611-1617), a commissionare a operatori campani immigrati nell’Isola pregevoli busti-reliquiario in legno intagliato e dorato, rintracciati nel Museu de Santa Clara a Gandia. Emerge in questa epoca un fecondo rimescolio di maestranze e manufatti artistici tra le sponde del Mediterraneo, in cui le città portuali delle due isole maggiori giocarono un ruolo non marginale.

Abstract
Re-examining the extensive bibliography and an unpublished documentation, this essay concentrates on the role of the painters living in Sardinia at the time of the Archbishop Francisco Desquivel (1605-1624), coming from Majorca, protégé of the Duke of Lerma. In the careful application of Tridentine rules and of the awkward dispute for the primacy of Sardinia and Corsica, Archbishop Desquivel made use of the services of artists from Naples, France and Sardinia to promote religious and cultural activities in the territory under his rule. He employed art experts, iconography consultants, expert palaeographers, drawers, designers, portraitists and illustrators. The deep interest in holy relics and in the prestige of his own lineage, led the Valencian Viceroy of Sardinia Carlos de Borja, Duke of Gandìa (1611-1617) to commission exquisite reliquary busts made of golden, carved wood. For such works of art he engaged artists immigrated to Sardinia from Campania. The reliquary busts were found at the Museu de Santa Clara in Gandìa. In that epoch there was a productive exchange of artists and artefacts through the Mediterranean Sea and seaports played an important role in such exchange.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
