It argues that their traditional martial perceptions – almost exclusively based in imperial experiences, especially against the Muslims in North Africa and in India – were transformed by the direct exposure to Spanish military endeavours in Europe. It also argues that the experience in Flanders resurfaced in the South Atlantic, in all its religious and political dimensions, transforming the prestige of Brazil as a battlefield. Finally, the article revisits the way the Flanders experience poisoned Spanish–Portuguese relations. Keywords Portuguese Atlantic, Iberian Union, War of Flanders, martial imaginary, battleground perceptions Introduction King Sebastian, in his attempt to go to North Africa, to attack the Moors himself, beyond being moved by the zeal of exalting the Catholic Faith, and spreading the Christian religion, had the example of all of his ancestors, who were always the Generals of their own Arms, and the first ones to attack. King John I went in person to take Ceuta with his four sons in a massive fleet. Afonso V went himself three times…to carry on with the war on the Berber Coast, where he achieved many victories… Manuel I was also determined to go there, carrying on with this Corresponding author: Miguel Dantas da Cruz, Instituto de Ciências Sociais – Lisbon University, Av.

  • The Migration of an Emblem Through the Example of the Cross of Burgundy
    The migration of an emblem through the example of the cross of Burgundy by Patrice de La Condamine Abstract The choice for the subject of this paper, The migration of an emblem through the example of the cross of Burgundy, needs an explanation. The purpose of this subject is double. The first one, as the first part of the title indicates, is to show the migration of the emblems, showing that they follow the movements of populations. The second purpose is to explain this reality through an example: the cross of Burgundy. This choice seems to be all the more appropriate since the country which welcomes us was one of the first to receive this emblem on its ter - ritory, in historic circumstances that everybody knows. The story could begin with Once upon a time, there was a cross... The Burgundian native land I do not pretend to know everything about the origins of the cross of Burgundy, how - ever I can talk about its history. First, its name ‘Cross of Burgundy’ does not let any doubt 1 about its origin: Burgundy, the actual region situated in the east of France. On the graphic aspect, it’s a saltirewise cross, called a Saint-Andrew’s cross 2, which is particular, as on the edges of its four limbs some small branch-like offshoots from the main cross can be noticed. That is why this emblem is also called “croix écotée”, 6 in The saltire of Burgundy French. Originally, it represented two crossed tree trunks of which the branches had been cut off, so that only the sawn-off ends remained.

  • Diego Velázquez, Portrait of the Marquesa De Leganés, 1630 Oil on Canvas, 37.3 X 28.5 In
    Diego Velázquez, Portrait of the Marquesa de Leganés, 1630 Oil on canvas, 37.3 x 28.5 in. (94.6 x 72.4 cm.) New York Private Collection A previously unknown painting by Diego Velázquez has been discovered in a private collection in New York. The portrait is of a sumptuously costumed notable of the Spanish Imperial Court (Fig. 1), signed lower right and dated 1630. The year 1630 was a period of experimentation and transition for Velázquez. Peter Paul Rubens, a friend and mentor of Velázquez, had only recently left his diplomatic post in Madrid (during which the two spent considerable time together) to return to Antwerp. Velázquez’s works began to explore classical and mythological themes. He acquired a renewed interest in the works of Titian, Tintoretto, and other Italian masters, leaving Spain for the first time to study the great collections of the duchies and princedoms of Italy. This portrait is unusual in that its subject is something of a mystery. Nearly every extant portrait by Velázquez is of an easily recognizable member of the family or court of King Philip IV, or that of his favored minister, the Count-Duke de Olivares. The subject of this portrait is clearly wealthy and of high status. She is dressed in fine satins and lace, and with jewels and accoutrements that suggest the exotic splendor and luxury of the Orient. These ostentatious details make it all the more notable that the subject bears no immediate likeness to a member of the royal family. We suggest that the portrait may be that of Marquesa Polyxena Spinola Guzman de Leganés.

In the chain of causation that matters here, what could be taken for a starting point was not an insect wing- beat but a spade cut, as a rectangular piece of peat was sliced from soggy ground and placed onto a barrow from which it was then loaded onto a high- sided barge, heaped up, turf upon turf, in a pile that resembled an earthen shed, hollow inside, though only a few were aware of this fact. From the riverbank, where the loading was taking place, the ship’s cargo looked like a solid stack.

  • 16Th and 17Th Century Spain
    16th and 17th century Spain 01a Apse of Sant Climent de Taüll, a fresco from Church of St. Climent de Taüll The rooms of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya also feature a particularly outstanding example of European Romanesque art: the remarkable, original and extraordinarily expressive paintin1gs from the Apse of Sant Climent de Taüll, including the famous Pantocrator or Christ in Majesty, an undisputed masterpiece from the 12th century that forms tangibleevidence of the creative power of Catalan painting. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luis de Morales (1510?-1586) 02 Pieta 1516. The most popular Spanish painter of the early 17th Century, called by his contemporaries "The Divine", because of the religious intensity of his paintings. From the Renaissance he also frequently used sfumato modeling, and simple compositions, but combined them with Flemish style precision of details. His subjects included many devotional images, including the Virgin and Child. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ El Greco Self Portrait 1595-1600 Doménikos Theotokópoulos (1541 – 1614), most widely known as El Greco, was a painter, sculptor and architect of the Spanish Renaissance. El Greco was born in Crete, which was at that time part of the Republic of Venice, and the center of Post-Byzantine art. He trained and became a master within that tradition before traveling at age 26 to Venice, as other Greek artists had done. In 1570 he moved to Rome, where he opened a workshop and executed a series of works. During his stay in Italy, El Greco enriched his style with elements of Mannerism and of the Venetian Renaissance. In 1577, he moved to Toledo, Spain, where he lived and worked until his death.

  • El Museo Del Prado
    EL MUSEO DEL PRADO The Prado Museum is one of Europe’s finest. It houses over 3,000 paintings including an extensive collection of royal paintings, many of which were collected by Spanish monarchs between 1400 and 1700. Every work in the Prado is considered a masterpiece. The collection of Spanish, Italian and Flemish art is too large to see in one visit, so we will concentrate on three of the most famous Spanish painters of all time: El Greco, Velázquez and Goya. Whether or not you do not make it to the Prado Museum, these artists are worth learning more about here! El Greco (1541-1614) Domingo Theotocopuli was born in Crete but came to Spain during the reign of Felipe II hoping to work as a court painter decorating the Real Monasterio de San Lorenzo del Escorial. El Greco's paintings were not accepted by the king, hence he settled in Toledo in 1576 at the age of 35. It was in Toledo that El Greco created his major works. His paintings are mainly portraits and religious themes. It is said that he, more than any other painter of his day, was able to capture the Spanish obsession with religion. He created figures that had a mystical, exalted look reflecting the mysterious nature of religion. Yet his style shocked some and displeased even the king. El Greco's work is characterized by vibrant colors especially apparent in the garments, his dramatic use of light and the elongated faces and hands of his subjects. His portraits are admired for the psychological force they transmit.
