The Christ Of Velázquez
(Donanfer)
The Christ of Velazquez Miguel de Unamuno Unamuno was born in Bilbao in September 29th, 1864 and died in Salamanca in December 31th, 1936. He was son of a family of accommodated middle-class, lost his to six father when as soon as años.Realizó told his first studies in the School of San Nicholas of its native city, and later, in 1875, he entered the Vizcaíno Institute to attend the baccalaureate. As its title or indicates it, the author taking of inspirador model the picture of Vela''zquez and their meticulous observation, arises the poem, inspired by the work of the painter or the breath of the same God that inspired to this one and that it returns to act on the spirit of Unamuno. The work consists of four parts, divided each one of her in numerous paragraphs, that can be pleased independently in form, more in the organization than it made of the same one obtained a coherent plan because the typically lírico character of the poem is revealed before a logic that facilmente allows to fit to him in the traditional classifications. It is a rosary of meditations around the life passion and death of our Mr. Jesus Christ and that spiritually are since a light beam that inflames the religious passion of Unamuno and which they meet around the unique ideal of the great writer who sees resolute in the death of the Redentor, our.redemption; thanks to the death that is built in the sublime sacrifice, see the permanence of the human conscience after the death. The first part of thirty and nine paragraphs consists, generally of brief extension, as they are it all those of the poem. In first, it proclaims the suggestion of the linen cloth, when it says: Magical twig/was to us the brush of Don Diego Rodriguez/of Silva Vela''zquez. The author thanks for the sublimidad of the painting of Vela''zquez, because through her we can see a divine and human Christ, as the writer, thinks that he was in realidad.Unamuno adds new symbolic names to the name of Christ and enriches them with its poetic one, extracting to them of Biblical places that the margin mentions. Only one appointment of Santa Catherine de Siena, who serves as epígrafe to the paragraph quarter of this part, knows that it was not taken from the Bible. In all its paragraphs the same tension to the poetic and religious pair stays. The second part, brief, consists of fourteen paragraphs, is the one that has a character more descriptivo.Son worthy of special mention, if such election between even fragments of emotion fits, the paragraph second, (it was completed you shouted with roar/as of thousand cataracts... or seventh where it describes the scene of the Crucifixión: Lazaro, pale repatriated of the tomb, cried when remembering that also Christ by his death cried; the Mother Our Lady, to traseged to her heart the pains the Passion; Juan contemplated to him with aquiline eyes; Tomás resisted to give faith to its eyes; Pedro cried disillusioned; Nicodemo, shamefaced disciple at night, watched engrossed from distant spot; Closed Santiago the fist, watched the city; Young tender Esteban, gathered like relics stones stained in blood; and far, in tarso, Saulo studied Greek science to be without suspecting it, Mercury of the new truth between the people. I believe that never the poetic genius of Unamuno will fly more stop than in this passage, simultaneously human and of highest religious meaning. The third part, twenty-seven paragraphs, is a new parade of symbols, but these not of the creatures of God, but of the members and physical accidents of the same Christ. Following the guideline graphical of the linen cloth of Velasquez, it is unravelling the religious sense of Crown, Head, Melena, In front, Face, Eyes, Ears, Nose, Cheeks, Chest, Arms, Shoulders, Hands, Index of the right hand, Sore of the flank, Belly, Knees, Feet etc. Everything is imbuido of that passion that the spirit of the writer moved and where the same one is not satisfied to a part of Christ, with a partial vision of itswith a God by halves but that it wants to include it everything, to have it everything, in its immense desperation to arrive at Its Truth, because that truth that Christ represents, is for the human being of Unamuno, that human being of meat and bone which we see in all its work, a salvation vestige. All the poem is written in free endecasílabos verses of rima; at the end of each paragraph, its famous religious poem is finished off by endecasílabo agudo.Publicó the Christ de Velasquez year 1920, although the composition was made many years before. Compositions that appeared in magazines, that they alternated with the composition of this work. Some fragments appeared in diverse periodic publications, and in private and in public it gave frequent readings of them. Between the readings she was famous the one that it gave in the Madrilenian Athenian, who caused that he was spoken of the poem long before which outside printed.
