Los modelos tridimensionales de Gaspar Becerra y la uniformidad del Romanismo en España. (Spanish)

Testimonies concerning the process of sculptural creation are scant in Renaissance Spain. Gaspar Becerra (1520-68), trained in Italy, became, alongside Alonso Berruguete, the quintessential sculptor. However, his role was that of a great team manager, especially in wood-carving. Following the Italian method, he not only provided drawings but also small models which were executed by his disciples. The reiterative use of those models contributed to the uniformity, and also to the exhaustion, of the artistic movement in Spain which has been called Romanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Los testimonios sobre el proceso de creación escultórica son escasos en la España del Renacimiento. Gaspar Becerra (1520-68), formado en Italia, se convirtió junto a Alonso Berruguete en paradigma del escultor. Sin embargo su papel fue el de un gran director de equipo, especialmente a la hora de tallar la madera. Siguiendo el método italiano no sólo facilitaba dibujos sino también pequeños modelos que eran realizados por sus discípulos. El uso de esos modelos y su reiteración contribuyeron a la uniformidad, y también al agotamiento, del movimiento artístico que en España se ha denominado Romanismo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
