El tratado Perspectiva Pictorum Architectorum es uno de los principales méritos que han consagrado al hermano coadjutor Andrea Pozzo (1642-1709) como el más renombrado artista de la Compañía de Jesús. A pesar de haber servido a pintores, geómetras y arquitectos del último Barroco en cuatro continentes como fuente de formación y repertorio visual, sigue siendo un texto citado mayormente de modo superficial. El presente examen de sus contenidos pretende analizar su organización y los diferentes propósitos que fundamentaron la obra, esto es: ponderar la arquitectura de la Orden y del propio Pozzo; servir de eficaz manual de taller; y, entonces como hoy en día, interesar como objeto de bibliofilia.AbstractThe treatise Perspective Pictorum Architectorum is one of the main reasons that have consecrated brother coadjutor Andrea Pozzo (1642-1709) as the most renowned artist of the Society of Jesus. Despite having served painters, geometricians and architects of four continents as a source of instruction and visual repertoire during the Late Baroque, it still remains –save honorable exceptions– as a superficially read text. Our examination of its contents analyzes how the plates were grouped to fulfill the different functions which the treatise was meant to accomplish, i.e.: praising Jesuit architecture and the one designed by Pozzo himself; being effective as a workshop manual; and, then as now, drawing attention to its character as an object of bibliophilia.
