| Summary: | In this paper we approach to Miguel Mañara, an exemplary figure of the Baroque gentleman in the 17th Century. His personality was manipulated during the Romantic Age, as he was considered as a Juan Tenorio alter ego, something that was not real. He was coming from a noble family, cavalier of the Calatrava Order, he was a young widow who experimented a conversion process, following the example of Jesus Christ within the Santa Caridad Brotherhood, which main rule was to bury dead people without any relatives. He did a very serious and dedicated activity in this brotherhood, founding a Hospital to help poor people. He was a brilliant writer and he was focused to the death idea, with pieces as Discurso de la Verdad. He also audits the artistic process of building the church of his hospital, outstanding the very beautiful scene of Christ burial in the main altar, from the authorship of Pedro Roldan., En este artículo se realiza una aproximación a Miguel Mañara, ejemplar figura del hombre barroco del siglo XVII. Aunque su personalidad se ha visto manipulada a partir de la época romántica con su vinculación a don Juan Tenorio, todo es ajeno a la verdad. De familia noble, caballero de Calatrava, tras enviudar joven, sufre un proceso de conversión que le hace seguir el ejemplo de Jesucristo en la Hermandad de la Santa Caridad cuya regla principal de conducta era el enterrar a los muertos sin familia y en la que realizó una abnegada labor con la fundación de un hospital para socorrer a los enfermos sin sustento. Escritor brillante ante la idea de la muerte con su Discurso de la Verdad, dirigió́ los postulados artísticos de la iglesia del hospital donde destaca la escena de su retablo mayor en la que se efigia, con suma belleza, la escena del Entierro de Cristo debida a la gubia de Pedro Roldán. |
