| Sumario: | [EN] Among the outstanding work of the ephemeral Royal Chalcographic Bureau (Calcografía Real) is a wonderful series of twelve engravings depicting exterior and interior views of the Monastery of El Escorial. The drawings used to make the plates were drawn by José Gómez de Navia and until recently these were thought to be lost. Nevertheless, ten of them bearing the signature of Gómez de Navia can be found in a private collection in Valencia, and this is the first time that they have been published and studied. In them, you can appreciate the finesse and the detailed precision and technique of the author, almost that of a miniaturist. The discovery has provided an opportunity to compare the original drawings and the engravings – particularly the series housed at the Biblioteca Nacional de España –, and review any changes implemented during the burin engraving. Additionally, it is an opportunity to highlight the significant role that the chalcographic series played in the evolution of the iconography of the Monastery. |
