Abstract

Vi Fílis, a bela: a poetic portrait by Jerónimo Baía. · The female portrait is a very common motif in Portuguese poetry of the Baroque period. It corresponds, as a rule, to the enumeration, from top to bottom, of certain parts of the body, which are exalted for their beauty. The article examines a composition by Jerónimo Baía in which the distinctive elements of the poetic portrait are combined with a playful and witty inclination, leading to the recurrent use of puns, hyperbolic expressions and paradoxes.
