Aproximación historiográfica a la restauración patrimonial de carácter historicista en España: desde sus albores a la actualidad
(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2020) López-Merino, G.L. (Guillermo L.)
The article aims at a historiographic approach to the history of heritage restoration from its origins to the present day, with a special emphasis on the «historical fake», through literature review and analysis of different case studies. The concept emerged in Europe in the middle of the 20th century, but its appearance in the practical field dates to the first romantic restorations. «Unity of style» and its struggle against the anti–restorative posture will mark the nineteenth century until the new century brings the triumph of the conservative tendency, nuanced in the following by several authors until reaching an aesthetic–historical balance. The Spanish panorama follows this evolution until the Franco dictatorship imposes again the historicist values, a position that will begin to change at the dawn of democracy. Despite this theoretical advance, the current situation is dominated by disparate criteria that cause a heterogeneous restorative landscape.
