Abstract

The Hispanic Baroque has one of its main exhibitions in the retable, to which scholars are paying an increasing attention. This paper outlines the study of the typology or order of the whole. artending first to such important elements as the tabernacle and the manifestador [manifester, exhibitor], i.e. the Eucharisric core, both having a main significance during the baroque rima, beside the special effects of the transparents. We continue with the analysis of the structural tipology, with a starting point in the rerable of El Escorial and other models in the palladian line which one devoloped mainly in the frame-retable (this type will produce very baroque creations). From the middle of the XVIIth century onwards, there is a turn to the primacy of an only order, also advancing to the irlerease of the bench and to the use of revisted columns. This type of an only order and with semicircular attic or rop is the commonest in Spain, though there exists a logical range of variations. Furthermore. the retable may apperit hacked against a right wall, but also against curved or polygonal presbytey, to cover in completely up to the vault and to form a concave structure with a shell crown which defines the typical riche-rerable. The tendency in the tabole is to stress the central part, which constitutes the agglutinating element of the structure, though there still persist several bodies. This the priority. is given to the titular image's niche. After the structural typology in follows an analysis of the typology of contents, with definitions of the reliquary-. rosay-, and painting support-, retables, and the big transparernts. Finally, we study the baldachin and its variations: exent baldachins. not exent ones. baldachin- retable and half baldachin.
