En-Clave de género. Las mujeres fuertes del Antiguo Testamento en la Capilla de la Virgen de Guadalupe de las Descalzas Reales

Abstract

This article intends to visualize and analyze the picto- rial program of the chapel of the Virgin of Guadalupe of the monastery of the Descalzas Reales, because it is a chapel created by a woman for women. In addi- tion, the study will focus on the importance of the pro- gram dedicated to strong women of the Old Testa- ment, as it is a rare subject in the Spanish Baroque. Consequently, the relevance of the monastery as a center of feminine power will be studied, as well as the relevance of the figures of Sr. Ana Dorotea, royal nun and promoter of this Marian chapel, since her per- sonality and education were indispensable to create this pictorial group with women as absolute protago- nists, and Sebastián Herrera Barnuevo, the hand that masterfully executed the iconography devised by the clarisa descalza.
