Abstract

This article aims to analyse two separate portrayals commissioned by the first Duke of Osuna to the painters Benito Rabuyate and Alonso Sánchez Coello. Hence it will be possible to analyse the conformation of representational models and their interlocking in the process of adaptation of aristocratic values and courtesy models. Such models included an increasing appreciation for the arts.
