Abstract
This work offers a reflection on the value of image during the Baroque, through the ways in which distance is managed in relation to various objects. The author focuses on both Hernando de Soto and Saavedra Fajardo’s works to elucidate the role of representation in matters such as the copperand- silver alloy coin or the government of the Indies.Downloads
