In a poetic codex belonging to Francisco Pacheco, appears a Fray Hortensio Paravicino’s sonnet addressed to Greco. Difficult to read, it requires a careful analysis, comparing it to other sonnets in relation to the painter of Toledo or the art of painting, especially portraiture. The second part presents and discusses a portrait of Fray Hortensio —a partial copy of the famous portrait kept at Boston— unknown until a recent auction in London.
