Descrição
The interest of the Spanish artistic historiography for the representations of the Saint of German origin, Saint Norbert, has been very scarce. Hence the interest of this article in which we address the study of a series of prints of this saint, made in Antwerp throughout the seventeenth century. Like other medieval saints canonized in the heat of the Tridentine Council, it was because he responded to the new model of sanctity defended by the Church: he was preacher of Antwerp, founder of a religious order, defender of the Eucharist and faced the heretic Tanchelino. All of them aspects that we see captured in these amberine prints. We also addressed the crucial role played by the Premonstratensian convent of San Miguel de Antwerp, especially thanks to the abbot Jan Chrisostomus van der Sterre, who commissioned many of them.||El interés de la historiografía artística española por las representaciones del santo de origen alemán, san Norberto, ha sido muy escaso.
