Abstract
Esta investigación estudiará la figura del pintor Baltasar Echave Rioja (1632- 1682), para comprobar si la pintura novohispana tuvo de fondo una estructura epistémica/retórica, que permitió un nexo entre el pintor y el predicador. Para ello, se desdobla el quehacer del pintor novohispano en tres espacios distintos. El primero tiene que ver con el ethos y el taller, donde el pintor es mentor y lleva a cabo una labor catequética; el segundo con el pathos y el uso del gesto en los cuadros; el tercero con el logos y el deleite, que causa el conocimiento de la historia y del oficio. En estos tres espacios, Echave Rioja enseña, mueve y deleita y, con ello, desarrolla un ejercicio de persuasión que, por un lado, refleja una identidad propia de la geografía cultural pictórica en la Nueva España y, por otro lado, muestra la estructura que une las pinturas de los reinos de los Austrias.
This research will examine the role of the painter Baltasar Echave Rioja (1632- 1682), to determine whether New Spain’s painting had an epistemic/rhetorical structure that allowed a nexus between the painter and the preacher. For this purpose, the work of the painter from New Spain is exposed to three distinct spaces. The first one has to do with the ethos and the workshop, where the painter is a mentor and a catechist; the second, is related to the pathos and the use of gesture in paintings; the third one is the logos and the delight originated by the understanding of history and craftsmanship. In these three different spaces, Echave Rioja teaches, moves and delights. In doing so, he sets out an exercise of persuasion, which on one hand, reflects an identity of the cultural pictorial geography of New Spain, and on the other hand, shows the structure that unites the paintings within the Austrian kingdoms.
