Abstract

The most wondrous age of discovery known to humanity initiated after the colonization of America by the Spanish crown at the end of XVth century; with this, a new way of seeing the world impacted all areas of society, both at a political and economic level as well as social and cultural levels. In this context, the emblematic literature emerges as one of the main manifestations of European humanistic culture, which benefited from the knowledge offered by the New World in all its aspects. The present work constitutes an approximation to the iconographic and iconological study of Hispanic emblems that refer to the newly discovered continent, with the aim of demonstrating the importance of the most significant finding of the Modern Age.
