Si paseas por la Plaza del Pozo Santo<\/strong> y entras en su hospital (fundado en el siglo XVII para cuidar a mujeres impedidas), te encontrar\u00e1s cara a cara con una de las im\u00e1genes m\u00e1s sobrecogedoras de la historia de Sevilla. Se trata de un lienzo an\u00f3nimo, pero cuya fuerza narrativa supera a la de muchos maestros del Barroco: la descripci\u00f3n gr\u00e1fica de la Gran Peste de 1649.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una fotograf\u00eda del siglo XVII<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este cuadro no es solo una obra de arte; es un documento period\u00edstico<\/strong>. Mientras que otros pintores de la \u00e9poca se centraban en santos y milagros, este autor desconocido decidi\u00f3 plasmar la cruda realidad de una ciudad que se desmoronaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al observar el lienzo, podr\u00e1s distinguir detalles que te transportar\u00e1n a aquel fat\u00eddico a\u00f1o. En el cuadro vemos una explanada de jardines que todav\u00eda hoy podemos contemplar en la ciudad, delante del Hospital de las Cinco Llagas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En el lienzo vemos como la enfermedad no hace distinci\u00f3n entre ricos y pobres, y que el terciopelo y los encajes son cubiertos por una realidad de dolor y muerte. En la escena, los perros lamen la sangre de sus due\u00f1os y los ancianos no son m\u00e1s que pellejos y heridas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 es una visita imprescindible?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para el viajero que busca la Sevilla aut\u00e9ntica y misteriosa<\/strong>, este cuadro es la pieza del puzzle que falta. Es el recordatorio de que bajo el suelo que pisamos hoy, la ciudad libr\u00f3 su batalla m\u00e1s dura. La obra respira ese esp\u00edritu de Vanitas<\/em> (la brevedad de la vida) tan presente en el Barroco sevillano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Informaci\u00f3n pr\u00e1ctica para tu visita<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Consejo:<\/strong>\u00a0No te quedes solo en el cuadro; el patio y la iglesia del hospital son ejemplos maravillosos del arte sacro sevillano menos conocido.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
