EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases Pedro Calderon de la Barca, a remarkable figure in Spanish history. Born in 1600, he was not only a soldier but also a priest and author. This portrait captures the essence of his multifaceted life. Calderon de la Barca's contributions to literature are widely celebrated during the Spanish Golden Age. As a dramatist, poet, and playwright, he crafted numerous works that continue to resonate today. His plays explored themes of honor, love, and destiny with profound insight into human nature. However, his literary prowess did not overshadow his dedication to serving God. Ordained as a priest within the Catholic Church, Calderon de la Barca found solace in religious devotion alongside his artistic pursuits. This image reflects both aspects of his life: the pen held firmly in one hand symbolizing his talent as an author while the other hand rests on a crucifix representing his unwavering faith. The lithograph is part of El Mundo Ilustrado Biblioteca de Las Familias (The Illustrated World Library of Families), published around 1880 by Biblioteca Ilustrada de Espasa Hermanos in Barcelona. It offers us an intimate glimpse into this influential figure from Spain's past. Pedro Calderon de la Barca stands as an embodiment of creativity and spirituality intertwined—a testament to how one person can excel across multiple domains while remaining true to their beliefs.
