LA IGLESIA NUEVA DEL HOSPITAL DE LA MISERICORDIA. UN PROYECTO DE ASENSIO DE MAEDA CON IMPORTANTES COLABORACIONES (1595-1606)

Abstract

So far, no building entirely planned by the Granada-boro architect Asensio de Maedo, was known to have reached our times. In this paper, we study the church ofthe "Hospital de la Misericordia" in Seville, designed by him and built between 1595 and 1606. Its outstanding typology was a model taken from the Roman basílicas and followed by other architects in numerous churches of the Andalusian baroque period. We have been able to do this study thanks to the unpublished documents belonging to its rich archives.
