A la muerte de Juan II de Aragón, se realizó inventario de sus posesiones. Entre los objetos se destacaron especialmente un interesante conjunto de tapices y piezas de plata y oro, procedentes en su mayoría de su capilla. Muchos de estos objetos se vendieron y empeñaron para hacer frente a los gastos de la casa real y pagar a sus oficiales. Sin embargo, lejos de ser algo excepcional, esta actitud hacia las artes era común a finales del siglo XV. Por encima de apreciaciones estéticas, importaba más el valor económico de las obras. En este trabajo repasamos algunas de las posesiones del rey aragonés y reflexionamos acerca de su relación con las artes.
After the death of John II of Aragon, an inventory of his possessions was made. Among the objects, were especially highlighted an interesting set of tapestries and pieces of silver and gold, most of them from his chapel. Many of these items were sold and pawned to pay the expenses of the royal household and its officers. However, far from being exceptional, this attitude towards the arts was common at the end of the fifteenth century. Over aesthetic appreciation, the economic value of the pieces was more important. This paper reviews some of the possessions of the Aragonese king and reflects about his relationship with the arts.
