En la clausura del convento de Santa Cruz de Córdoba se conserva una imagen en madera
policromada de Nuestra Señora de Belén, tradicionalmente adscrita al ámbito italiano. No
obstante, un análisis de del aspecto formal y estilístico de la pieza permite relacionarla con
la órbita de la escultura cortesana de la segunda mitad del siglo xviii y, más especialmente,
al círculo del turiasonense Juan Adán Morlán.
We present a work about the wooden religious piece placed in Santa Cruz Convent in Córdoba.
This little sculpture represent the catholic symbol of Nuestra Señora de Belén, and has
usually been attributed to the italian school of sculpture. However, with an analysis of the
formal and stylistic aspect of the piece, we can approach to the real artistic origins: the orbit
of Madrid sculpture school from the second half of the 18th century and, more especially,
to the circle of Juan Adán Morlán
