Abstract

espanolLa iglesia de San Pedro Apostol de Penaflor (Sevilla) fue construida entre 1780 y 1798 en el contexto de renovacion de la archidiocesis hispalense tras el terremoto de Lisboa. Desde entonces ha ejercido una magnetica atraccion sobre los historiadores del arte basada en su anomala configuracion tipologica respecto de los habituales modelos eclesiales diocesanos y en la incertidumbre que ha venido rodeando a su autoria, atribuida hasta ahora a Antonio de Figueroa. El presente trabajo expone la primera parte de su historia constructiva, que desvela, como dato de mayor interes para la historiografia de la arquitectura sevillana, que el verdadero autor del templo fue el alarife ecijano Antonio Caballero y Garcia. EnglishSaint Peter the Apostle Church in Penaflor (Seville) was built between 1780 and 1798, in a context of renewal of the archdiocese of Seville after the Lisbon earthquake. Since then it has exerted a magnetic attraction on art historians, based on its anomalous typological configuration in respect to the usual diocesan ecclesial models and the uncertainty that has surrounded its authorship, attributed up to now to Antonio de Figueroa. The present work expresses the first part of its constructive history, that reveals, as data of greatest interest for the historiography of the Sevillian architecture, that the true author of the temple was the master mason Antonio Caballero y Garcia.
