Abstract
La última gran reforma realizada en la iglesia de San Antonio de los Alemanes de Madrid se llevó a cabo en 1780 bajo la idea rectora de la unidad de estilo para corregir el contraste entre el retablo mayor, construido en 1762-1765 con un modelo berninesco, y los seis retablos laterales barrocos, que databan de 1700. El deseo de dar armonía al conjunto llevó incluso a añadir adornos en el altar mayor semejantes a los que se hacían en los retablos laterales y a eliminar el antiguo púlpito y confesionarios para hacer otros nuevos que mejoraran la vista y circulación por el templo. La labor quedó encomendada al capellán don José de la Rocha, interesante personaje muy versado en la gestión de obras artísticas.
The last great remodeling of the church of San Antonio de los Alemanes in Madrid took place in 1780 under the guiding idea of the unity of style to correct the contrast between the main altarpiece, built in 1762-1765 with a Berninesque model, and the six Baroque side altar-pieces, dating from 1700. The aim to harmonize the ensemble even led to the addition of decorations in the main altar similar to those made in the side altarpieces and to eliminate the old pulpit and confessionals to make new ones that would improve the view and circulation through the temple. The work was entrusted to the chaplain Don José de la Rocha, an interesting character well versed in the management of artistic works.
