La escenografía del milagro en la consagración de la catedral de Jaén (1660)

Abstract

The Counter-Reformation uses surprising mechanisms to persuade towards a behavior also useful to the monarchy, justfying its military interventons like a defense of the religion. In a moment of fanatical mobilizatons who claim the Dogma of the Immaculate and the discovery of saint s relics, we focus in those mechanisms- its impressive ephemeral architecture, scenography, images- transmiters of messages to the citzens of Jaen, who lived the celebration of consecration of its new cathedral in an atmosphere of exaltation.
