Abstract
La Orden de las canonesas del Santo Sepulcro de Zaragoza tuvo unas características particulares que permitió a sus integrantes gozar de un grado de autonomía y libertad poco frecuentes en la época. Esta congregación estaba formada en buena parte por mujeres de las clases altas, lo que les permitió ejercer una importante labor de mecenazgo artístico. En este contexto, el presente texto narra la vida y vicisitudes de las hermanas Juana y Petronila Tarazona, dos religiosas que habitaron este monasterio en el siglo XVII y de las que se ha conservado un interesante retrato doble, así como el retablo presidido por el Descanso en la huida a Egipto, notable copia de José de Ribera el Españoleto, que sufragaron para la iglesia del templo conventual.
The Order of the canonesses of the Holy Sepulcher of Zaragoza had particular characteristics that allowed its members to enjoy a degree of autonomy and freedom that was rare at the time. This congregation was largely made up of women from the upper classes, which allowed them to carry out an important work of artistic patronage. In this context, this text narrates the life and vicissitudes of the sisters Juana and Petronila Tarazona, two nuns who lived in this monastery in the 17th century and of whom an interesting double portrait has been preserved, as well as the altarpiece presided over by the Descanso in the flight to Egypt, a notable copy of José de Ribera el Españoleto, which they paid for the church of the conventual temple.
