Abstract

his paper illustrates the iconographic transformations concerning the Virgin Hodegetria in the modern period (XVI-XVIII centuries). After analyzing the causes that led to the spread of the worship from one extreme to the other of the western Mediterranean, mutual devotional contaminations recorded in the various territories of the Crown of Aragon are presented. Also, formal changes and semantic shifts that have significantly altered the iconographic aspect and the devotional reception of the faithful communities are also presented.
