Los retratos políticos de los Grandes Anales de quince días de Quevedo
Abstract
This article examines the literary portraits of key political figures, including three Spanish kings – Philip II, Philip III, and Philip IV – and their prime ministers, the Duke of Lerma, the Duke of Uceda, and Friar Luis de Aliaga, as presented by Quevedo at the conclusion of Grandes anales de quince días. The study focuses on both aesthetic and iconographic perspectives, drawing connections between Quevedo’s literary depictions and the known painted portraits of these individuals. Many of these artworks can be viewed in the Museo del Prado, which houses a significant portion of the Royal Collection – paintings that Quevedo likely had access to. The primary objective of this article is to explore the affinities between Quevedo’s literary descriptions and the visual representations of these figures in the corresponding portraits.
