Abstract
CARNEIRO, Sarissa. LA CLEMENCIA DEL PRÍNCIPE: SU REPRESENTACIÓN ALEGÓRICA EN EMBLEMAS Y EMPRESAS DE ESPAÑA Y AMÉRICA COLONIAL. Rev. chil. lit. [online]. 2013, n.85, pp.75-100. ISSN 0718-2295. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-22952013000300004.
This investigation deals with the representation of clemency as a Prince's virtue amongst the political transformations which lead to the progressive abandonment of the language of good governance on behalf of the Reason of State. It analyses different allegorical representations of clemency and justice, during the 16th and 17th centuries, in Spanish emblem books and political devices and two triumphal arches raised in 1680's Nueva España.
Keywords : Iberian Catholic politics; emblematics; festive relations; clemency allegories.
