EL PROBLEMA DE LA INMACULADA CONCEPCIÓN EN LA SEGUNDA DÉCADA DEL SIGLO XVII. FESTEJOS Y MÁSCARAS: EL PAPEL DE LOS PLATEROS

Abstract

The polemics about the Inmaculate Conception reached a culminating point between the years of 1614 and 1617. The city of Seville was the scene of a confrontation between the upholdres of the Inmaculate Conception -Religious Orders, Archbishop and citizens-, and its detractors -de Dominican Order-. In that context severa! feasts, processions and masquerades took place. Among this, the masquerade of the Silversmiths Corporation stood out and it was regarded as the best one.
