Origin

He became the king of Spain and Portugal in 1598, after the death of his father. He was known for his peaceful foreign policy in western Europe, his expulsion of the Moriscos (Christians of Moorish ancestry) from Spain, and his reliance on his favourite, the Duke of Lerma, who was the first of a series of royal favourites who governed 17th-century Spain. His nick name Philip the Pieous is because he is so religious

Betting Addiction

Philip III once played a game of cards with the Duke of Lerma, his favourite and chief minister, and lost the crown of Portugal to him. The Duke then returned the crown to the king as a sign of loyalty and friendship.

Pax Hispanica

The Pax Hispanica was a period of 23 years from 1598 to 1621, when Spain disengaged from the European wars of religion that had troubled the previous century. Spain signed peace treaties with France, England, and the Dutch United Provinces, and expelled the Moriscos from its territory. Some people were happy about the Pax Hispanica because it brought stability, prosperity, and cultural influence to the Spanish Empire,

Origin

Is Working Honourable?

The origin of the Golden Age in Spain is usually traced back to the year 1492, when three major events occurred: the end of the Reconquista, the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus, and the publication of the first grammar of the Spanish language by Antonio de Nebrija. These events marked the beginning of a period of political, cultural, and artistic flourishing in Spain, which lasted until the mid-17th century. Some of the most notable figures of the Spanish Golden Age include Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Diego Velázquez, and El Greco.

The Hidalgos and the Picaros

The hidalgos are the lower nobility, who claim descent from the ancient knights and have some privileges, such as not paying taxes. The picaros are the rogues, vagabonds, and tricksters, who live by their wits and often mocked the hypocrisy and corruption of the society

The Spanish Golden Age in the Shadow of War: Politics, Religion, and Art in the 17th Century

Working in the Golden Age of Spain was not a uniform experience, as different social classes, genders, and occupations had different views and expectations. Generally speaking, working was seen as a necessity for survival, but also as a way of fulfilling one’s duty to God, the king, and society. Some professions, such as nobility, clergy, military, and civil service, were considered more honorable and prestigious than others, such as merchants, artisans, peasants, and servants

Velazquez

Murillo

As we can see in this picture, Diego Velazquez depicts the nobility in a complex and innovative way, creating a painting that blurs the boundaries between reality and illusion, and challenges the viewer’s perception

Rubens

The works of art of Rubens are special because they show his mastery of the Baroque style, which emphasized movement, sensuality, and color. Rubens was influenced by the great Italian painters, such as Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto, but he also developed his own original and expressive style. He painted on a variety of subjects, including religious, mythological, historical, and allegorical scenes, as well as portraits and landscapes.

Murillo depicted poor people in Los niños jugando a los dados with realism and compassion, showing their daily struggles and joys.
