Artistic and religious Patronage of the Duke of Lerma in the Kingdom of València
Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze and interpret the artistic and religious patronage of the Duke of Lerma in the Kingdom of València. On the one hand, it explains how his relations with the city of València could influence his artistic interests and how “lo valencianoˮ was present in his private collections. In this sense, it studies his links with the viceroys who preceded and succeeded him in the Valencian viceroyalty -such as the Marquis of Aitona, the Count of Benavente, the Patriarch Ribera and the Marquis of Caracena- and the way he favoured the Valencian popular religiosity of his time. On the other hand, new documentation is provided on the architectural works sponsored by the Duke to house the King Philip III in Dénia and on the foundation of two convents in the same city. Finally, new archival documents are released about the origin and disappearance of his marble statue in the castle of Dénia.
