Abstract
The representations of buildings, galleries, environments painted or enriched with statues allow us to reflect on a neglected aspect of the Spanish books of chivalry: the “temples of memory”. Examples taken from Amadís de Gaula and Sergas de Esplandián (1496-1510); Clarián de Landanís (1518); Lisuarte de Grecia, Florisel de Niquea, Amadís de Grecia (1514-1535); Silves de la Selva (1546); Olivante de Laura (1564); Espejo de príncipes (1587) and the Italian continuations of Mambrino Roseo: Palmerino (1560) and Sferamundi (1558-1565), are related with the treatise and plastic arts of that age: the Teatro della Memoria of Giulio Camillo Delminio (1480-1544), the cenotaph of the Emperor Maximilian in the Church of Innsbruck (1553), the project by Anton Francesco Doni for Arquà Petrarca (c. 1560), the Teatro Olimpico by Andrea Palladio in Vicenza (1579), the Museo of Paolo Giovio near Lake Como (1543), the Fasti hall of the Farnese palace in Caprarola (1559-1575).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
