El espacio pictórico de la civilidad republicana en la obra de Juan Lovera (1776-1841) (original) (raw)

Abstract

A significant analysis of the two emblematic works of the Caracas painter Juan Lovera (1776-1841), El tumulto del 19 de Abril de 1810 (1835) y Firma del Acta de la Independencia el 5 de julio de 1811 (1838), with the help of the methodology of cultural history in alliance with the history of art. An interpretation of these works is sought away from the common places of the Venezuelan art historiography, to unravel the pictorical thinking that Lovera constructs in them to configure a pictorial space different from that of colonial art, adapted to the new republican times in the 1830s. The configuration of the pictorial space of civility is then exposed from the related principles introduced by Lovera in these paintings and which are not linked to the heroic vision of the history of Venezuela to which the arts will be folded from the second half of the nineteenth century.
