Abstract
Após uma longa e expectante demora, D. Filipe II de Portugal/ III de Espanha entrou triunfalmente em Lisboa, em Junho de 1619, para reunir as Cortes do Reino e legitimar a sucessão do príncipe herdeiro. Incumbida de organizar a visita régia, a vereação de Lisboa, apoiada pelas inúmeras corporações comerciais e oficinais, promoveu na principal praça da cidade, entre o Paço Real e o rio Tejo, a edificação de um aparatoso monumento comemorativo. O programa artístico, imbuído de um forte discurso político, fora estruturado em torno de um conjunto de esculturas alegóricas, acompanhadas individualmente de textos encomiásticos explicativos concebidos com o propósito de cimentar uma estratégia de apaziguamento social e fidelidade política entre a monarca e os seus súbditos.
Philip II of Portugal / III of Spain, after a long and expectant delay, entered triumphantly in Lisbon, in June 1619, to gather the Kingdom Courts and legitimize the crown prince succession. Supported by several commercial and workshop corporations, the Lisbon City Council, responsible for the royal journey organization, promoted in the main square of the city, between the Royal Palace and the Tagus River, an ostentatious celebrative monument. Structured around of a set of allegorical sculptures, the artistic program was imbued with a strong political message. It was complemented by individually and explanatory panegyric texts achieved with the purpose of consolidated a political allegiance and social appeasement strategy between the monarch and his subjects.
