Spanish Golden Age
The Spanish Golden Age, or Siglo de Oro, was a period of flourishing in Spanish literature and art in the 16th and 17th centuries, under the Habsburg kings. It produced the novelist Miguel de Cervantes, the playwrights Lope de Vega and Calderón de la Barca, the poets Garcilaso de la Vega, Góngora and Quevedo, and painters such as El Greco, Velázquez, Zurbarán and Murillo. It is usually said to end with the death of Calderón in 1681.
