This website brings us closer to the historical past of the Lecrín Valley. In this regard, it is worth highlighting the important work carried out by the Grupo Catastro-Lecrín, which was created in 2009 and belongs to the Centro de Estudios Históricos del Valle de Lecrín y la Alpujarra (CEHVAL), which deals with history through the Valle de Lecrín and La Alpujarra of Granada and which highlights the great value that can be gained from the exploitation of such a valuable source of documentation as the Cadastre of the Marqués de la Ensenada. The attempted fiscal reform of the Ensenada Cadastre in Andalusia was carried out during the first four years after its inception in 1750. The operations carried out in the Intendencia de Granada were under the direction of Luis González Torres Navarra, Marquis of Campoverde. Initially, the purpose of this operation was to improve in some way the system of administration of the territory. Ensenada’s documentation has allowed us to discover aspects of society, as well as the complexity of a predominantly rural geographical space.

This online resource consists of a database that provides both researchers and other users with data recorded in the Cadastre of the Marquis of La Ensenada on the Lecrin Valley. It highlights the great value that can be derived from the exploitation of such a valuable source of documentation as the Cadastre of the Marquis of La Ensenada. The attempted fiscal reform of the Ensenada Cadastre in Andalusia was carried out during the first four years after its inception in 1750. The operations carried out in the Intendencia de Granada were under the direction of Luis González Torres Navarra, Marquis of Campoverde. Initially, the aim of this operation was to improve in some way the system of administration of the territory. In short, it is a work promoted by the GENARQ research project (History of Architecture from a Gender Perspective) developed within the Families, Inequality and Generational Change, 1700-1900 Project. Among its sections we can carry out searches related to homeowners through a glossary specialised by surnames and sex, as well as by houses and references to other buildings.

Royal Chapel of Granada

The royal chapel of Granada, which was erected to preserve the remains of the Catholic Monarchs, was built in Gothic style between 1505 and 1517. The 16th century is the century of the chapel’s fullness, where the sobriety of the building is highlighted. Under Emperor Charles I it continued to flourish with all kinds of decorations. Today, the mark left by Queen Isabella, in a certain sense, marks the large number of visits that take place every year. On this website, users can access the history of the monument, as well as take a guided tour where they can see the different cultural contributions that the chapel has undergone over the last 500 years. This portal also contains complementary information on the Lonja, built in 1518 by the Granada City Council.

The Bilbao Fine Arts Museum and the Museum of Modern Art joined forces in 1945, the year in which the old building was erected. In the 1970s, an annex was added, which later, in 2001, was completed with the latest modifications to the building that we can visit today. Through the virtual visit we can approach the masterpieces of authors such as the 16th century German painter and designer of engravings Lucas Cranach the Elder, the Italian baroque painter Artemisia Lomi Gentileschi, El Greco, Murillo, Zurbarán and Goya, among many others.

This website provides a virtual tour of the Canadian Museum of History’s collection on New France. The various themes attempt to cover the territory on which New France is based, a land occupied by French settlers since 1534, when Jacques Cartier began the first of his three explorations in such an unusual and wild land. The tour shows some of the most important historical milestones of the French colonial experience. The layout of the contents is established by a series of specific headings showing objects, original texts, as well as other elements typical of the period.

Didactics 2.0 Museums in women’s terms

ad_hlab_min — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 16:34:35 +0000

Didactica 2.0 Museos en Femenino is the result of joint work between a team from the Instituto de Investigaciones Feministas of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, the Asociación e-Mujeres and the teams from the museums participating in the project: Museo del Prado, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Museo del Traje and Museo Nacional de Cerámica González Martí. The project focuses on women in art and aims to develop joint actions in the field of museums to disseminate and facilitate knowledge of the cultural heritage held in them and promote their integration. On the website, each of the participating museums offers detailed and precise itineraries, as well as access to the corresponding teaching guides. These guides are extremely useful for both students and teachers. It is therefore a very useful tool for dissemination and teaching to guide the analysis of art and history from a gender perspective. For the period of the Modern Age, the proposals that best fit its chronology are those of the Museo del Prado and, in part, those of the Museo Nacional de Cerámica González Martí and the Museo del Traje.

Licence to print and publish two works by Miguel Pérez Campos, 1789

ad_hlab_min — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 16:33:16 +0000

Miguel Pérez Campos, a former Jesuit, received royal permission to print and publish his work as long as they were not dedicated in honour of Floridablanca so that “the merit of them would be given to him in what was just”. The works are “Gramatica nuova ad uso de’ fanciulli che attendono allo studio della lingua latina in tre libri divisa e ordinata nell’ idioma italiano dall’ abate D. Michele Perez secondo l’antico, e comune Sistema del famoso potoghese P. Emanuele Alvarez” and “Michaëlis Perézii Lobetani de arte Rhetorica libri VI: ex Aristotele, Cicerone, et Quinctiliano praecipuè deprompti, ac tyronum puerorum usui maximé accomodati”. The reply, in the form of a missive, was dated 21 March 1789.
