Dentro del acervo resultante, el templo del Señor de los Rayos tiene una connotación especial por desapegarse de la tendencia sin ornamentos iconográficos; por el contrario, apeló a la iconología a través de una portada que, aún apartada de la composición tradicional de cuerpos y calles, remite directamente a imágenes ancestrales del repertorio cristiano en una composición escultórica sobrepuesta, resultando en un edificio desconcertante y único en Aguascalientes, rupturista y paradójicamente tradicional también.Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México2022-08-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmltext/htmlhttps://revistas.unam.mx/index.php/aca/article/view/8315410.22201/fa.2007252Xp.2022.25.83154Academia XXII; Vol. 13 No. 25 (2022): Arquitecturas religiosas en la modernidad iberoamericana.; 102-122Academia XXII; Vol. 13 Núm. 25 (2022): Arquitecturas religiosas en la modernidad iberoamericana.; 102-1222594-083X2007-252X10.22201/fa.2007252Xp.2022.25reponame:Academia XXIIinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://revistas.unam.mx/index.php/aca/article/view/83154/72986https://revistas.unam.mx/index.php/aca/article/view/83154/75754https://revistas.unam.mx/index.php/aca/article/view/83154/75751Derechos de autor 2022 Academia XXIIhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/831542024-11-08T21:43:27Z
