Pedro Calderón de la Barca

Memorial dado a los profesores de pintura de Pedro Calder n de la Barca, publicado originalmente en Madrid el 8 de julio de 1677, es un profundo homenaje al arte de la pintura y a sus practicantes. En este texto, Calder n de la Barca, distinguido miembro de la Orden de Santiago, capell n de honor de Su Majestad y de la Real Capilla de los Nuevos Reyes en la Santa Iglesia de Toledo, reflexiona sobre la esencia y los or genes de la pintura, celebr ndola como una emulaci n casi divina de las creaciones de la naturaleza. A trav s de un discurso elocuente, Calder n de la Barca contempla la capacidad nica de la pintura para imitar las creaciones de Dios, retratando el mbito visible, y aventur ndose en la representaci n de las emociones humanas y el alma misma. Se maravilla de c mo la pintura en un simple lienzo puede evocar profundidad, distancia y emoci n, capturando la esencia del universo y el esp ritu humano con trazos de luz y sombra. Este breve tratado tambi n explora el g nesis de la pintura, trazando paralelos entre la creaci n divina a partir de la nada y el surgimiento del arte a partir de simples sombras en la arena, refinado eventualmente por el ingenio humano en la pr ctica estimada que es hoy. Calder n de la Barca desaf a cualquier noci n que disminuya la importancia de la pintura, argumentando que su omisi n de las artes liberales no resta valor a su nobleza, sino que subraya su supremac a, siendo un arte que utiliza y domina a todos los dem s. Adem s, Calder n de la Barca se embarca en un discurso sobre el lugar estimado de la pintura dentro de la sociedad, se alando su pr ctica por emperadores, pont fices y caballeros, subrayando as la esencia noble y liberal del arte. Afirma el aspecto divino de la pintura, recordando c mo Dios mismo "pint " a la humanidad a Su imagen y, a trav s de iconos sagrados como el Velo de Ver nica y la S bana Santa de Tur n, dej a la humanidad con representaciones indelebles de los misterios divinos. Memorial dado a los profesores de pintura es una defensa de la pintura como forma de arte, una celebraci n de su capacidad sin igual para imitar la vida, evocar emoci n y trascender los l mites entre lo f sico y lo espiritual. Las observaciones perspicaces de Calder n de la Barca ofrecen una reflexi n atemporal sobre el poder de la pintura para reflejar lo divino, para retratar el alma y para enriquecer la comprensi n humana tanto del mundo natural como del celestial.

Two of the dramas contained in this volume are the most celebrated of all Calderon's writings. The first, "La Vida es Sueno", has been translated into many languages and performed with success on almost every stage in Europe but that of England. So late as the winter of 1866-7, in a Russian version, it drew crowded houses to the great theatre of Moscow; while a few years earlier, as if to give a signal proof of the reality of its title, and that Life was indeed a Dream, the Queen of Sweden expired in the theatre of Stockholm during the performance of "La Vida es Sueno". In England the play has been much studied for its literary value and the exceeding beauty and lyrical sweetness of some passages; but with the exception of a version by John Oxenford published in "The Monthly Magazine" for 1842, which being in blank verse does not represent the form of the original, no complete translation into English has been attempted. Some scenes translated with considerable elegance in the metre of the original were published by Archbishop Trench in 1856; but these comprised only a portion of the graver division of the drama. The present version of the entire play has been made with the advantages which the author's long experience in the study and interpretation of Calderon has enabled him to apply to this master-piece of the great Spanish poet. All the forms of verse have been preserved; while the closeness of the translation may be inferred from the fact, that not only the whole play but every speech and fragment of a speech are represented in English in the exact number of lines of the original, without the sacrifice, it is to be hoped, of one important idea.

Don Pedro has it all – high position, wealth, a beautiful family – and enjoys the good life in the heart of the Spanish capital. But now he faces a challenge that would test the patience of a saint. It is time to marry off his daughters. It’s bad enough that his eldest Beatriz is both obsessed by the latest fashions and talks like a university professor, but his youngest Leonor is already enjoying illicit midnight trysts with her lover and is in no mood to accept an arranged marriage. Throw into this explosive mix the extravagant young man about town, Don Alonso, who thinks all women, like all plays, are excellent on the first night and boring on the second, and you have the recipe for an hilarious comedy that reaches out effortlessly across the centuries.

The son and one of the creators of the Spanish "Golden Age", Calder n (16000 1681) was an inexhaustible playwright - he wrote more than 200 original comedies and autos sacramentales, dramatic works in which he gave artistic expression to seemingly abstract concepts of theology. A persistent labourer, Calder n continued reshaping and rewriting his own work, seeking esthetic perfection. Tightly knit, his plays are full of intricately organized action and nexpected, yet natural, motivations.
