This essay offers a general overview of some of the main artistic, liturgical and musical works inspired by the Capitulation of Granada in favor of the Catholic Monarchs and related to the patronage of Cardinal Pedro González de Mendoza, Cardinal Bernardino López de Carvajal, Archbishop Fray Hernando de Talavera and his circle. Particular attention is paid to the composition of the well-known Oficios de la Toma de Granada (Offices of the Capitulation of Granada). Granada is conceived therein as a New Jerusalem, the center of a mono-religious but multicultural providentialist discourse identified with the Crown of Castile. Such convergent discourses in music, liturgy and the arts, both at the peninsular and European levels, helped turn the nominatissima urbs Granate after the fall of the Nasrid Kingdom in 1492 into an enduring symbol of Hispanic culture.

Based on recent research into the correspondence and poetic works of Ioannes Dantiscus (1485--1548), the article discusses the activities of this eminent humanist, diplomat, and bishop in the service of the Jagiellons in the field of artistic patronage, as well as the use and collection of works of art. It juxtaposes Dantiscus's surviving images in the form of oil portraits, woodcuts, and medals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Sardinia many are the medieval fragments recovered in currently destroyed churches and frequently recognized as out of context. Therefore, specialists find it difficult to proper investigate artefacts such as the Greek-Sardinians epigraphs. Some of those report the men and women names who probably were part of the aristocratic families that ruled the island. Comparing Sardinian evidences with the ones found in south Italy could allegedly provide responses about this period. Moreover, it might be significantly effective in order to reveal all the connections between artistic patronage and women in Sardinia.

This study analyzes the artistic patronage developed by Friar Andrés de las Navas y Quevedo, bishop of Guatemala, in Baza (Granada) between 1682 and 1696. The bishop made several donations of silver objects for the Our Lady of Piety, in the Convent of La Merced. He also ordered to build and decorate the chapel of San Andrés in the parochial church of Santiago. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article reconstructs for the first time the art collection and artistic influence of Cardinal Luis Fernandez de Portocarrero (1635-1709) in Italy. After arriving in Rome as Cardinal Protector in 1669, his greatest political achievements were to be the positions of interim viceroy in Sicily and special ambassador to the Holy See. On his return (1679), as archbishop of Toledo and member of the Council of State, he would be a key figure in the disputes over the succession of Charles 11. During his Italian decade he made an effort to adapt to the tastes and customs of the cardinals' families in Rome, trusting his image - and the decoration of Palazzo Cupis in Piazza Navona -- to the most outstanding artists of the Papal Court. He also used the public dimension of the arts to build himself a reputation among the Spanish community in Rome, especially during the Jubilee Year of 1675, and he was particularly skilled at linking the progressions of his career to events of political importance to the general interests of the Spanish Crown, perhaps already contemplating his move to the court in Madrid.

The text concerns the creation of the first Baroque chapel erected at the southern aisle of the Wrocław cathedral in 1672, and its interior. The founder of the chapel was Wrocław Canon Johann Jakob Brunetti (1629-1692), who came from Massa di Carrara, Tuscany and was laid to rest in the chapel's crypt along with his brother Johann (1646-1703), the assistant bishop. Despite its modest size the work deserves attention for its preserved decor -- the altar and two epitaphs made of Dębnik marble and rich acanthus frieze, contrasting with the dome's vault, decorated with coffers and rosettes. The applied forms indicate good knowledge of both Italian Renaissance and early Baroque traditions displayed by the designer of the work, Carlo Rossi, who came from the vicinity of Como, Lombardy. It makes the chapel an interesting work of art of dual stylistic character, which along with the chapel of St. Cross at the Church of BVM on Piasek Island, initiated the erection of further works of this type at the cathedral and at the Dominican and Premonstratensian churches in Wrocław.
