En torno a la formación del gusto artístico de la reina Juana I

Abstract

Throughout history, artistic taste has undergone changes that go far beyond formal issues. Thus, at the end of the fifteenth century and for a long time, the material value of objects was taken into account more than the aspects that we would now call «artistic», that is, purely aesthetic. Joanna I was educated in that world, where gold, silver, jewels, tapestries (which included expensive materials such as silk and, occasionally, gold and silver), brocades..., were the most important thing. The Renaissance had barely penetrated in Spain, where Flemish or Hispanic‑Flemish art prevailed, a preference that is evident in the paintings and, especially, in the tapestries that the Queen treasured and brought with her to her confinement in Tordesillas in 1509.
