Abstract
A lo largo del siglo XVIII, y fundamentalmente tras el “Terremoto de Lisboa” (1755), la Iglesia sembró por todo el Reino de Sevilla un gran número de edificaciones religiosas que constituyen el denominado “barroco diocesano dieciochesco”, cuyos encargados de materializarlo fueron los maestros mayores del Arzobispado hispalense. En las páginas que siguen se expone concisamente la génesis, el desarrollo y el ocaso de este brillante episodio de la arquitectura andaluza, personificado en cuatro de aquellos maestros: Diego Antonio Díaz, Pedro de Silva, Ambrosio de Figueroa y su hijo Antonio, de los que se aportan relevantes noticias inéditas biográficas y profesionales.
Throughout the 18th century, and mainly after the “Lisbon Earthquake” (1755), the Church scattered a large number of religious buildings throughout the Kingdom of Seville that built up into the so-called “18th-century diocesan Baroque”, laying down this task onto the Major masters of the Archbishopric of Seville. In the following pages, the genesis, development and decline of this brilliant episode of Andalusian Architecture are concisely exposed, being personified in four of those masters: Diego Antonio Díaz, Pedro de Silva, Ambrosio de Figueroa and his son Antonio, from whom relevant unpublished biographical and professional news are provided.
