| Summary: | This article analyzes the evolution of iconography associated with the Virgin Mary in Spain. It does so by studying Marian invocations in more than a thousand Marian sanctuaries and hermitages from between the fifth and nineteenth centuries. Although topographic invocations predominated in the early years, from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries, personal invocations that present Mary as a model or mediator between God and men began to predominate. Finally, from the seventeenth century onward, invocations that present Mary as a powerful intercessor began to gain strength. This is so especially in larger cities dominated by a commercial logic that presents Mary’s will as an archetype of contractual freedom, i.e., that which gives rise to consent. We suggest that this development of mercantile logic tended to displace the rationality proper to the logic of the gift, especially of the maternal gift that Mary embodied. El presente artículo realiza un análisis de la evolución de la iconografía de la Virgen en España a partir del estudio de las advocaciones de la Virgen en más de mil santuarios y ermitas marianos entre el siglo V y el siglo XIX. Aunque en los primeros años predominan las advocaciones topográficas, a partir de los siglos XIV-XVI se hacen mayoritarias las advocaciones personales que presentan a María como modelo a imitar o mediadora entre Dios y los hombres. Finalmente, a partir del siglo XVII, ganan fuerza las advocaciones que presentan a María como intercesora poderosa, especialmente en el marco de las grandes ciudades, donde se ha desarrollado la lógica mercantil, lo que parece presentar la voluntad de María como arquetipo de la libertad contractual, aquella que da pie al consentimiento. A cambio, sugerimos que el desarrollo de la lógica mercantil tendió a desplazar la racionalidad propia de la lógica del don, especialmente, del don maternal que María encarnaba. |
