Naturalismo y metáfora en la "música" pintada de Santo Domingo de Orihuela, San Pedro de Agost i la Immaculada de Onil (1695- ca. 1730) Authors Juan Pérez Berná Abstract My doctoral thesis, The Music Chapel of Orihuela Cathedral. Romance-Language Compositions by Mathias Navarro (c. 1666-1727), highlights for the first time the musical significance of three frescoes preserved in as many churches in Alicante province. All three frescoes, contemporary with Mathias Navarro, represent the Celestial Glory, in which the Eternal Father is depicted amidst angel singers and instrumentalists. The Glory at Santo Domingo de Orihuela painted by Bartolomé Albert the Elder in 1695 re-creates Dantes celestial vision with notable skill, lending music a prominence that other contemporary frescoes lack. The Glories painted a few decades later in Agost and Onil, which show a marked realism, are also significant in terms of musical iconography. This paper discusses the symbolic reading that music acquires in all these frescoes, the naturalism of the organologic representations and the relationship between them and the music played at Santo Domingo de Orihuela in the times of the chapel master Mathias Navarro, a relationship which, in the cases of Agost and Onil, would be derived from the possible author of the frescoes: the musician and painter Bartolomé Albert the Younger, who was the son of the painter of the same name and a member of the Orihuela music chapel since he was a child.
