Abstract

Since classical antiquity, the historical-artistic personality of the humanization of Spanish rivers has been configured and outlined. Although strongly influenced by Italian and Egyptian rivers deities, Spanish rivers have been able to provide iconographic nuances through the centuries, which have endowed them an own personality. The objective of this work is to analyze the symbolic configuration of the Spanish rivers that flow into the hydrographic Slope of the Mediterranean Sea, analyzing material testimonies that represent works of Spaniard rivers that extend from the Guadalhorce River in Malaga to the Ebro. Historical-artistic testimonies analyzed are located between the 16th and 20th centuries. Thanks to the analysis carried out, we have been able to establish some iconographic peculiarities in the representations of Spanish rivers.
