| Summary: | José Álvarez was one of the most active master-builders to the Archidiocese of Seville along the XVIII century. He was contemporary to Pedro de Silva, Ambrosio and Antonio de Figueroa, Fernando Rosales, and undertook orders of the ecclesiastical Cabildo combaning them with the ones coming from the Archbishopric, being the latter ones that provided him greatest prestige. Just mentioning some of the temples he built up (Moguer, Santa Cruz de Écija, San Bernardo de Sevilla, Aznalcóllar, ...) is enough to make us understand the magnitude of his achievements. Surprisingly, his work had not yet been honoured with a published monography, due perhaps to the lack of biographical news beyond that the one related to his Huelva’s origins. This work seeks to overcome this gap by documenting for the first time his birth and death, his little family intimacy, his authorship on relevant ecclesial works and finally to chronologically review his professional workship. All this to put in value the figure of one of the greatest names in late sevillian-barroque Architecture., José Álvarez fue uno de los más activos maestros mayores de obras de la archidiócesis sevillana del XVIII. Contemporánea de Pedro de Silva, Ambrosio y Antonio de Figueroa y Fernando Rosales, alternó los encargos del Cabildo eclesiástico con los del Arzobispado, siendo estos últimos los que le otorgaron mayor prestigio. Basta citar algunos de los templos que construyó (Moguer, Santa Cruz de Écija, San Bernardo de Sevilla, Aznalcóllar, etc.) para comprender la magnitud de sus realizaciones. Sorprendentemente, su obra no había merecido aún la edición de una monografía, debido quizá a la falta de noticias biográficas más allá de la de su origen onubense. Este trabajo pretende subsanar dicho vacío, documentando por vez primera su nacimiento y fallecimiento, su reducido círculo familiar, su autoría sobre relevantes obras eclesiales y repasando cronológicamente su actividad profesional. Todo ello para poner en valor la figura de uno de los grandes nombres de la arquitectura tardo-barroca sevillana. |
