La estructura espacial del cuadro: una lectura semiótica de "Las Meninas"

The semiotics of space attempts to explain the mechanisms on which forms depend, and that prepare some kind of background for a visual perception, conditioning al1 that we are really able to see. This study attempts to find in painting a deep syntax, but it does so with an example: Las Meninas, Velázquez. So, in this painting we are aware of three relational analytic levels: syntax (relational forms), semantics (production of sense) and pragmatics (the relation between the work and the interpret). This is the Spaceshape Theory.
