This dissertation recounts the battle that Spain's great Atlantic port city waged against its own decline. The powerful Seville Cathedral led a campaign to canonize the thirteenth-century Spanish king, San Fernando, in an effort to win heavenly favor and earn deliverance from the economic, political, and natural disasters that were ravaging the Spanish Empire. Seville's canonization campaign coincided with the Counter-Reformation papacy's movement to tighten the reins over local religion by controlling the veneration of saints. The present study, based on the canonization files at the Vatican and Seville Cathedral archives, shows how the bureaucratic procedure of a canonization trial became a vital, creative process.

520 $a This dissertation recounts the battle that Spain's great Atlantic port city waged against its own decline. The powerful Seville Cathedral led a campaign to canonize the thirteenth-century Spanish king, San Fernando, in an effort to win heavenly favor and earn deliverance from the economic, political, and natural disasters that were ravaging the Spanish Empire. Seville's canonization campaign coincided with the Counter-Reformation papacy's movement to tighten the reins over local religion by controlling the veneration of saints. The present study, based on the canonization files at the Vatican and Seville Cathedral archives, shows how the bureaucratic procedure of a canonization trial became a vital, creative process.
520 $a Chapters 1 and 2 investigate how the process reinvigorated Fernando's cult and how Sevillians utilized the history, image, and even the physical remains of their saint to negotiate with the monarchy. Chapter 3, focusing on Seville's commemoration of the Immaculate Conception in the 1660s, examines the rise of the printed festival book as a medium to promote a civic reputation. The final chapters analyze Seville's famous 1671 fiestas for San Fernando: chapter 4 studies Bartolomé Murillo's portraits of the Sevillian saint and exposes the disconnect between theory and practice in Counter-Reformation sacred portraiture, and chapter 5 reconstructs the Seville Cathedral's creation of a lavishly-illustrated festival book as a last great push to promote San Fernando and the beleaguered city.
520 $a Baroque Seville is typically depicted as a decadent society in denial, but, by looking at this culture from the perspective of its creators, this project unveils a new portrait of a city actively tackling its troubles. This dissertation also helps explain the paradox of seventeenth-century Spanish history—a period of both economic decline and artistic efflorescence—by demonstrating how the arts served as a weapon against decline. In the end, Seville's campaign for San Fernando roundly failed to reverse the city's misfortunes, and the results of the canonization itself were ambiguous. Nonetheless, the process laid the groundwork for future generations' interpretations of the era and helped shape what would become the canon of a national Golden-Age culture.
