La teología mariana en la inmaculada concepción de Gregorio Vásquez de arce y Ceballos en la iconografía granadina de los siglos XVII Y XVIII

Abstract

The present work approaches the life of the artist Gregorio Vásquez de Arce y Ceballos, taking into account the social and cultural context of the time and his artistic work during his life. This includes an evident emphasis on taste in the face of the mysteries of faith and religious life until it becomes a means and instrument of evangelization in the colonial era. Subsequently, a specific work of a mariological nature is analyzed, making an iconographic and iconological description of the theme, revealing in this way the mystery of faith contained therein in its characters, elements and characteristics. Having as a basis of interpretation the Sacred Scripture, the patristic tradition and the guidelines of the Catholic Church in matters of dogmas and doctrine. Finally, there is a look at the evolution and impregnation of dogma in the lands discovered by the conquerors and how it influences the declaration of the Immaculate as a universal dogma, where faith, social and political interests revolve. Everything understood from the person of the Son of God who takes the flesh of a woman to become a man among us. The analysis of the painting leads a series of approaches to different subjects such as Bible, history, mariology, christology and dogmatics.
