Abstract
En el presente trabajo analizamos el impacto que tuvo la llegada del Nazareno de Francisco Marco Díaz-Pintado en la villa de Camas. La Cofradía de la Vera Cruz, con orígenes en el siglo XVI, sufrió un cambio de advocación cristífera que cambiaría el futuro de la propia Corporación. El escultor valenciano, tan aficionado a participar en certámenes artísticos, presentó la talla de Jesús del Gran Poder en la exposición de Bellas Artes, organizada por el Ateneo sevillano, en 1923. La muestra se llevó a cabo entre el 15 de abril y el 20 de mayo de ese mismo año. La imagen del Señor debió de llegar a Camas en las primeras semanas del mes de junio, ya que su bendición se llevó a cabo en la mañana del domingo 17 de junio de 1923, en un ambiente de fiesta. Según la crónica periodística de la época, la talla del Nazareno era única por sus características técnicas y estilísticas. El estilo clásico utilizado por Francisco Marco en su ejecución desapareció por completo en las distintas intervenciones realizadas a la talla a lo largo del siglo XX.
This paper analyzes the impact of the arrival of the Nazarene by Francisco Marco Díaz-Pintado in the town of Camas. The Vera Cruz Brotherhood, with origins dating back to the 16th century, underwent a change in its Christological devotion that would alter the future of the Corporation itself. The Valencian sculptor, known for his enthusiasm for participating in artistic contests, presented the statue of Jesus del Gran Poder at the Fine Arts Exhibition organized by the Ateneo of Seville in 1923. The exhibition took place between April 15 and May 20 of that year. The image of the Lord likely arrived in Camas in the early weeks of June, as its blessing was held on the morning of Sunday, June 17, 1923, in a festive atmosphere. According to the journalistic accounts of the time, the Nazarene sculpture was unique due to its technical and stylistic features. The classical style employed by Francisco Marco in its execution completely disappeared in the various interventions carried out on the statue throughout the 20th century.
