Abstract
La comunidad trinitaria de Valdepeñas fue la primera que se constituyó como reformada descalza en 1600. Dentro de la iglesia conventual, durante el primer tercio del siglo XVIII, se edificó una capilla para albergar la talla de “Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno Rescatado”, una de las primeras copias del hoy conocido como “Jesús de Medinaceli”, rescatado en La Mamora en 1681. Las circunstancias del apresamiento de esta imagen y su posterior rescate contribuyeron a crear la nueva iconografía de “Jesús Rescatado”, que se convertiría también en símbolo visible de los Trinitarios Reformados. La capilla dedicada a esta advocación en Valdepeñas contiene unas pinturas murales de enorme interés por la singularidad de las composiciones emblemáticas que alberga. Este Trabajo Fin de Máster tiene como objetivo principal proponer una interpretación contextualizada del programa iconográfico, concebido para exaltar la labor de la Orden Trinitaria, la virtud de los titulares de la casa de Santa Cruz y la implicación devocional del pueblo de Valdepeñas. Dicho programa pretende asimismo reflejar el esfuerzo conjunto de los tres estamentos sociales —la nobleza, el clero y el pueblo— en el momento de la Reforma y su permanencia en el tiempo, haciendo posible que Valdepeñas pudiera contar con una imagen de “Jesús Nazareno Rescatado”.
The Trinitarian community of Valdepeñas was the first to be established as Discalced Reformed community in 1600. Within the conventual church, during the first third of the eighteenth century, a chapel was built to house the image of “Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno Rescatado,” one of the earliest copies of what is now known as “Jesús de Medinaceli,” rescued in La Mamora in 1681. The circumstances surrounding the capture of this image and its subsequent rescue contributed to the creation of the new iconography of “Jesús Rescatado,” which would also become a visible symbol of the Discalced Trinitarians. The chapel dedicated to this devotion in Valdepeñas contains mural paintings of great interest due to the uniqueness of the emblematic compositions it houses. This Master's Thesis aims primarily to propose a contextualized interpretation of the iconographic program, conceived to exalt the mission of the Trinitarian Order, the virtue of the lords of the House of Santa Cruz, and the devotional involvement of the people of Valdepeñas. This program also seeks to reflect the joint effort of the three social estates —the nobility, the clergy, and the common people— at the time of the Reform and their continuity over time, which made it possible for Valdepeñas to possess an image of “Jesús Nazareno Rescatado” (Jesus of Nazareth Redeemed).
