Abstract

Undoubtedly, the meaning of the works of art has always been a challenge for art historians. Glimpsing the mentality of the men who produced the works of the past, being able to approach their true and original meaning, requires erudition, as well as a deep knowledge of the historical, economic and social context as well as of beliefs, ideas, etcetera of the society that produced them. In this sense, the present work aims to offer a summary of the iconological interpretations available in the bibliography, about the iconography that three pieces of the collection of plaster casts of the Faculty of Arts of the National University of La Plata thematize in order to precise existing attributions.
