Description
The historical and social conditions of early modern Spain gave rise to the picaresque novel, a literary genre defined by a satirical, anti- idealist style and the unprecedented narrative viewpoint of a lowborn and socially marginalized protagonist. This lecture examines the visual language used to depict the world of the pícaro in relation to other representations of marginality seen in the visual art production by Golden Age Spanish artists like Diego de Velázquez.
