Abstract
Las correspondencias formales que encontramos a partir de la publicación de una imagen del grupo escultórico de San José llevando de la mano al Divino Infante, conservado en la pequeña localidad italiana de Toirano, con piezas de igual iconografía realizadas en Puebla de los Ángeles para la misma cronología, nos ha llevado a su investigación desde múltiples puntos de aproximación. Desarrollamos los diferentes argumentos que nos llevan a relacionar la pieza en cuestión, adscrita hasta este momento a los obradores gaditanos-ligures asentados en Cádiz, con los de Puebla, aportando reveladores datos tanto de su donante como de sus hipotéticos autores, José Villegas Cora y Antonio Villegas Cora. Además, ahora con mayor ímpetu, volvemos a hacer la necesaria llamada de atención en la que reclamamos el protagonismo de lo gaditano, pero también de lo genovés, en la escultura angelopolitana del siglo XVIII.
This investigation is motivated by the formal correspondences that can be established between the image of the sculpture-group of Saint Joseph holding the hand of the Divine Infant, preserved in the small Italian city of Toirano, and pieces with the same iconography elaborated in Puebla de los Angeles during the same period. As such, this work presents different arguments that allow us to propose a new way of understanding its authorship, which has been ascribed until now to craftsmen from Liguria that had been settled in Cadiz, and instead attribute it to the sculptors from Puebla José Villegas Cora and Antonio Villegas Cora. Also, now with greater zeal, we call for the much-needed recognition of the importance of Cadiz and Genoa as centers of reference for the sculpture of Puebla during the eighteenth century.
