Abstract
El presente texto tiene como objetivo exponer la importancia de los talleres de platería de Calera de Tango dentro de la producción de las artes industriales en Santiago de Chile durante el periodo colonial. Este centro, vertebrado por la orden jesuita bajo la batuta del padre Haymbhausen, extendió el gusto por las refinadas formas rococó del barroco bávaro, protagonizado por las caprichosas y complicadas rocallas y la asimetría. El sur de Alemania se revela así como la mayor influencia de la platería colonial chilena demostrando que no todo venía de España. En este trabajo nos centraremos en analizar los ejemplos conservados en la catedral de Santiago de Chile, centro neurálgico de su culto, y al que pasaron las piezas más importantes del platal jesuita una vez la orden fue expulsada de los dominios del imperio español en 1767.
This paper aims to present the importance of the workshops of silversmithing of Calera de Tango within the industrial arts production in Santiago de Chile during the colonial period. This institution, orchestrated by the Jesuits under the leadership of Father Haymbhausen, spread the taste for the refined rococo forms of the Bavarian Baroque, characterized by the whimsical shapes of rocailles and asymmetry. Southern Germany thus proves to be the greatest influence in the Chilean colonial silversmithing, demosntrating that not every influence came from Spain. This paper will be focused onthe analysis of the examples preserved in the cathedral of Santiago de Chile, focal point of this catholic cult, where the Jesuit pieces were deposited once the Order was expelled from the domains of the Spanish empire in 1767.
