Abstract

To uncover the meaning of the Sevillian church of Santa Maria la Blanca happens for the analysis of three fundamental questions: first of all, the personality of the canon don Justino de Neve, real artistic author of the building, as well as the artistic conjuncture of the Seville of 1660-1670. To it there adds the study of the images, emblems and inscriptions that lead its interior and, finally, the book that Torre Farfán published on the occasion of the inauguration of the temple, in which it is possible to find the fundamental guidelines to understand it.
