Abstract
The present work deals with the statues of “Virgen de la Antigua” (Our Lady of Antigua) and “Virgen de los Reyes” (Our Lady of Monarchs), two icons traditionally associated with King Ferdinand III of Castile. It analyses the origin and history of such association and the shrines built for those statues, their artistic heritage and their significance as emblems of the public image the Castilian monarchy tried to cast on the old “mudéjar” cathedral of Seville. Two shrines are studied, namely, those of the “Virgen de la Antigua” at Saint Peter’s chapel, and the “Virgen de los Reyes”, at the royal chapel.Downloads
