Applied Emblems in the Cathedral of Lugo: European Sources for a Spanish Cycle Addressed to the Virgin Mary

By Carme López Calderón

In Applied Emblems in the Cathedral of Lugo, Carme L pez Calder n explores the emblematic programme found in the Chapel of Nuestra Se ora de los Ojos Grandes (Galicia, Spain), consisting of fifty-eight emblems painted c. 1735. Making use of a wide range of printed sources, the author delves into the meaning of each emblem and provides an all-encompassing interpretation of this cycle, which can rightly be described as the richest and most complete programme of Marian applied emblematics in the Iberian Peninsula.
