Abstract
El cementerio Nuestro Padre Jesús de Murcia atesora una tumba de hierro única, impulsada
por Francisco Peña Vaquero, un industrial propietario de una de las fundiciones más importantes
de la Murcia en el cruce de los siglos XIX y XX, para el que el trabajo lo era todo. Sobre
ese material se proyectaría un programa iconográfico que combina elementos tradicionales
del mundo de la muerte con un repertorio centrado en los propios útiles de su actividad profesional.
La suma de todo ello daría como resultado un catafalco desde el que se proclamaban
los ideales de la resurrección cristiana a partir del esfuerzo laboral desarrollado durante
la vida. Analizar estos aspectos y vincularlos con los aportes económicos y funerarios de su
contexto nos dará las pautas para abordar el análisis de su significado.
The cemetery of Nuestro Padre Jesús in Murcia treasures a unique iron tomb, promoted by Francisco Peña Vaquero, an industrialist and owner of one of the most important foundries in Murcia at the crossroads of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, for whom work was everything. An iconographic program was projected on iron combining traditional elements of the world of death with a repertoire centered on the tools of his professional activity. The sum of all this would result in a catafalque from which the ideals of Christian resurrection were proclaimed from the labor effort developed during life. Analyzing these aspects and linking them with the economic and funerary contributions of their context will give us the guidelines to approach the analysis of their meaning.
