The long way towards the individualism. The Palace of the Counts of Luque in Granada in the beginnings of the contemporary age

Abstract

The present work is an approximation to two apparently distant subjects as they are the artistic demonstrations of the nobility like mechanism of expression of the power, as well as the History of the Family. And it is that the excellent documentation of the county of Luque has allowed me to approach to the analysis of the familiar evolution of the nobility through the architectural structure of its homes, deducing the internal structure of the home addition (its extensive or nuclear character), as well as the size of the same and his unambiguous direction to the individualism to beginnings of the 19th century. Besides, the own architecture and its different elements have constituted in this example like expressive synthesis of the way of life of the nobility and its always present longing of exhibition publishes of the power.
