| Resumo: | Sponsorship and patronage have always been the reasons that concerned Lope’s artistic life and we can see this in a great number of his works. In the present investigation, I study the play <i>Las grandezas de Alejandro</i> and its literary dedication, showing a different point of view from the studies made before. In order to do this, I will investigate the biography of the patron Lope refers to in the work, Fernando Afán de Ribera, focusing on his prececessors and the nobiliary life of his lineage. The research shows the author’s necessity to please the political powers of his time and the desire he had of ascending to the aristocracy. I have also considered another reading of the drama: the autor claims his works as an artist, and suggests that sponsors and patrons need to be enlightened by the artists they protect. Thus, drama and dedication have a political and an artistic reading, which complement each other. |
