Abstract
El presente trabajo estudia los sonetos que
dos poetas italianos compusieron sobre la
reina Dido y la pintora Irene de Spelimbergo.
Luigi Tansilo dedicó el suyo a la reina
de Cartago, a quien sitúa en los “lugentes
campi”, siguiendo muy puntualmente un
episodio de la Eneida de Virgilio (los editores
no se percataron de esa deuda y creyeron
que el poeta italiano se refería una
dama muerta que deseaba volver a morir
por celos). Berardino Rota consagró su soneto
a la pintora Irene, a quien imagina en
los Campos Elíseos y descendiendo desde
ellos a la tierra (convertida en una especie
de arco Iris porque como pintora también
siembra el cielo de colores) para llevar un
mensaje de paz. En su soneto, Rota alude
también a su esposa muerta (en el mismo
año que Irene), por quien dice, en prueba
de su amor, estar recorriendo los “lugentes
campi” (él usa el singular).
This paper studies the two poets Italian sonnets composed about Queen Dido and painter Irene Spelimbergo. Luigi Tansilo devoted his to the Queen of Carthage, who stands at the “lugentes campi” very promptly following an episode of Virgil’s Aeneid (the editors did not realize that debt and believed the Italian poet meant a lady wanted dead return to die out of jealousy). Berardino Rota devoted his sonnet to the painter Irene, who imagines the Champs Elysees and descending from them to the earth (made into an arch Iris because as a painter also planting colorful sky) to bring a message of peace. In his sonnet, Rota also refers to his dead wife (in the same year as Irene), of whom he says, to prove his love, to be sweeping the “lugentes campi” (he uses the singular).
