Abstract
Este artículo analiza los diarios de viaje que Ángel Cuervo Urisarri redactó durante su primer viaje a Europa (1878-1879) e identifica la recepción del legado clásico del viajero a partir de su visita a Grecia e Italia y, particularmente, a Pompeya. A través de la revisión histórica documental se examina la correspondencia privada que mantuvo Cuervo con sus amigos más cercanos con el ánimo de identificar detalles del viaje alternos a los consignados en sus diarios. Los hallazgos de la investigación señalan que el viaje europeo fue una experiencia común entre la élite colombiana del siglo XIX y que el arte pompeyano tuvo un impacto definitivo en el ámbito cultural del país. También llama la atención sobre la necesidad de estudiar la recepción del legado clásico en Colombia.
This article analyzes the travel diaries that Ángel Cuervo Urisarri wrote during his first trip to Europe (1878-1879) and identifies the classical reception of the traveler in his visit to Greece and Italy and, particularly, to Pompeii. Through the documentary historical review, the private correspondence that Cuervo had with his closest friends is examined with the aim of identifying details of the trip alternate to those recorded in his diaries. The findings indicate that the European trip was a common experience among the Colombian elite of the 19th century and that Pompeian art had a definite impact on the country’s cultural sphere. It also draws attention to the need to study the reception of the classical legacy in Colombia.
