Topic

The Art of Fervor. Barcelona Baroque Devotions between Universalism and Local Identities

What's it about

The reopening of the Sant Sever church offers an exceptional setting to reflect on the coexistence of local-rooted cults and universal-devotion practices in Baroque Barcelona. The conference will trace the most emblematic devotions of modern Barcelona — martyrs, saints, Marian advocations and sacred images — and will analyze how the city incorporated new celestial heroes promoted by the Church, especially following the multiple canonizations of 1622 and 1671.
