Abstract
El camarín nace como una estancia destinada a la contemplación y la veneración íntimas de la imagen. Concebida a modo de templo inscrito a otro templo más grande, en un contexto, el del barroco, en el que la estética se puso al servicio de la fe y se hallaba ansiosa por satisfacer los anhelos de una sociedad que suplicaba romper con los límites de la realidad y ser partícipes de lo numinoso. En este gran teatro de la fe nació camarín, un enorme relicario tectónico que fue, a su vez, un importante catalizador del valiosísimo juego de retóricas apariencias de la que le proveyó la cultura del XVII y el XVIII europeos. En el presente estudio se hará una clasificación y análisis de varios camarines según su tipología, en el contexto geográfico de la actual provincia de Sevilla.
The camarín emerged as a space designed for the intimate contemplation and veneration of the image. It was conceived as a temple inscribed within a larger structure during the Baroque period, a context in which aesthetics were placed at the service of faith to satisfy a society’s longing to transcend the limits of reality and participate in the numinous. In this great “theater of faith,” the camarín was defined as a vast tectonic reliquary, acting as a catalyst for the complex rhetorical appearances provided by 17th and 18th-century European culture. The present study provides a typological classification and analysis of several camarines within the geographical context of the province of Seville.
