Bartolome Brothers Doctor Historian Leonardo Poem Poetry Rhymes Argensola
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the Spanish poetic duo, Bartolome Leonardo de Argensola (1562-1631) and Lupercio Leo (1559-1613). The brothers, both renowned literary figures of the 16th and 17th centuries, are seen here in a thoughtful and introspective pose, surrounded by the tranquility of their study. Bartolome Leonardo de Argensola, also known as Doctor Argensola, was a historian, poet, and playwright. He is best known for his historical works, including the "Historia de los Hechos de España en Africa," which chronicled Spain's involvement in the conquest of Africa. However, his poetic skills were also highly regarded, and he is considered one of the leading figures of the Spanish Baroque literary movement. Lupercio Leo, on the other hand, was a prolific poet and writer. His poetry, which was heavily influenced by the works of Petrarch and Garcilaso de la Vega, was characterized by its elegance and refinement. The brothers' collaboration on a collection of poems, "Rimas de Lupercio y del doctor Bartolome Leonardo de Argensola," was published posthumously in 1634 and is considered a masterpiece of Spanish poetry from the modern age. Despite their significant contributions to Spanish literature and history, the Argensola brothers have often been overshadowed by more famous contemporaries such as Lope de Vega and Calderon de la Barca. However, this print serves as a reminder of their enduring legacy and the rich literary heritage of Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries. The brothers' timeless words continue to resonate with readers and scholars, making this print not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the power of the written word.
