List of apostolados explained

An apostolado (from Spanish;), or apostles series,[1] is a series of individual portrait paintings of the apostles of Jesus Christ, sometimes including other figures, such as Jesus, Luke, Mary, and/or Paul.[2] [3] [4] [5] The first potential example of an apostolado stems from a pair of portraits of the apostles James the Elder and Philip by Albrecht Dürer in 1516, which he may have intended as a full series of twelve. In Spain, apostolados are a prevalent genre of art of the apostles,[6] being popularized by Greco-Spanish painter El Greco[7] and leading to other renowned artists of the genre such as Francisco de Zurbarán,[8] Peter Paul Rubens,[9] and Anthony van Dyck.[10] Images of saints, and therefore the apostles, became popular in Catholic Europe during the Renaissance as a result of the Counter-Reformation, which in turn derived from a heavy emphasis of the Catholic doctrine of intercession of saints and opposition to Protestant iconoclasm.[11]

Apostolados

Although the concept of the apostles in the context of Christianity generally refers to the first twelve apostles of Jesus Christ as enumerated in the Gospels[12] [13] (Judas Iscariot being replaced by Matthias due to his treachery),[14] some apostolados contain portraits of other important figures in Christianity, such as Jesus, Paul, Mary, and/or Luke.
