Abstract
"Introducción". Considerado por la historiografía moderna uno de los mayores exponentes de la pintura de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII en España, la figura de José del Castillo carecía hasta la fecha de una monografía que asentara de una vez por todas, el papel que le tocó desempeñar en historia del arte español. Encasillado como pintor para la fábrica de tapices de Santa Bárbara, no se habían tenido en cuenta otros parámetros de su producción que vienen a enriquecer su personalidad artística, resultado de una variada y diversa formación artística, que le permiten liberarse del apelativo con el que se le viene conociendo hasta ahora de ser el más fiel seguidor de Corrado Giaquinto en España. "Objetivos". Se hacía necesaria una profunda investigación en archivos pertenecientes a diversas instituciones y el análisis bibliográfico concienzudo en bibliotecas para enriquecer el conocimiento de su vida y su carrera artística, así como el estudio de su obra, que viniera a asentar las bases y permitiera la elaboración de un primer catálogo razonado, donde diera cabida no sólo la consolidación de piezas conocidas suyas y la incorporación de otras nuevas, sino también la de limpiar de su corpus artístico aquéllas que se le han adjudicado sin base racional alguna, como la de rescatar del olvido otras muchas, que desaparecidas en el correr de los años, dieran testimonio, con la esperanza de que nuevos hallazgos permitieran un mejor conocimiento de su producción." Resultados". Se han cumplido gran parte de los objetivos, con el descubrimiento de nuevas noticias sobre su periplo artístico y vital. Hemos podido elaborar una completa biografía que ha venido a solventar y esclarecer gran parte de los problemas propuestos e incógnitas de su carrera, y descubrir el círculo de amistades y protectores del que se rodeó. Desgraciadamente no se han encontrado los mismos resultados en otros muchos, de los que al menos hemos podido formular hipótesis razonadas, que sólo el hallazgo de nuevos documentos podrá resolver de manera tangible. De la misma manera, la investigación nos ha permitido realizar un juicio preciso de su estilo y evolución, traducido en el primer catálogo razonado de su producción, en el que se han desechado varias obras propuestas y enriquecido de forma sustancial con otras muchas, quedando el eco de aquéllas que, ahora desaparecidas, han dejado su rastro a través de otros formatos y soportes. "Conclusiones". Asentados los parámetros de la investigación, el pintor José del Castillo parte por fin con el primer estudio global de su personalidad artística que servirá de punto de partida para futuras investigaciones que permitan concretar más el importante lugar que ocupó en diversos aspectos de la historia de la pintura de nuestro Siglo de las Luces
Considered by modern historiography one of the greatest exponents of the painting in the second half of the eighteenth century in Spain, the figure of José del Castillo lacked to date of a monograph settle once and for all the paper that touched him play in history of Spanish art. Part as a painter for the tapestry factory of Santa Barbara, had not taken into account other parameters of your output that enrich his artistic personality, a result of a wide and diverse artistic training that allow him to escape the name with which he knowing is far from being the most faithful follower of Corrado Giaquinto in Spain." Objectives". Extensive research in archives belonging to various institutions and libraries thorough literature review to enrich the knowledge of his life and career, and the study of his work, he came to lay the foundations and allow processing was required first catalog raisonné, which would accommodate not only the consolidation of his known pieces and incorporating new ones, but also the cleaning of his artistic corpus those that have been awarded without any rational basis, like other rescue from oblivion many, which disappeared in the course of the years, give testimony, with the hope that new findings allow a better understanding of their production. "Results". Were largely achieved the objectives, with the discovery of new information about his artistic and life journey. We were able to develop a complete biography has come to resolve and clarify much of the proposed problems and unknowns of his career, and find the circle of friends and protectors to be surrounded. Unfortunately they have not found the same results in many others, including at least we could make reasoned assumptions only the discovery of new documents may terminate tangibly. Similarly, research has enabled us to make an accurate judgment of his style and evolution, resulting in the first catalog raisonné of his production, which have been rejected several proposed works and substantially enriched with many others, leaving the echo those missing have now left their mark through other formats and media. "Conclusions". Settled research parameters, the painter José del Castillo finally part with the first comprehensive study of his artistic personality that will serve as a starting point for future research to be more specific the important place occupied in various aspects of the history of painting our Enlightenment
