Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JAUREGUI Y AGUILAR, JUAN MARTiNEZ DE (1583-1641), Spanish poet, was baptized at
Seville
  on the 24th of November 1583. In due course he studied at Rome, returning to Spain shortly before 1610 with a
double
  reputation as a painter and a poet. A reference in the
preface
  to the Novelas exemplares has been taken to mean that he painted the portrait of Cervantes, who, in the second
part
  of Don Quixote, praises the
translation
  of Tasso's Aminta published at Rome in 1607. Jauregui's Rimas (1618), a collection of graceful lyrics, is preceded by a controversial
preface
  which attracted much attention on account of its outspoken declaration against culteranismo. Through the influence of
Olivares
 , he was appointed groom of the chamber to Philip IV., and gave an elaborate exposition of his artistic doctrines in the Discurso poet ice contra el hablar culto y oscuro (1624), a skilful attack on the new theories, which procured for its author the order of Calatrava. It is plain, however, that the
shock
  of controversy had shaken Jauregui's convictions, and his poem Orfeo (1624) is visibly influenced by G6ngora. Jauregui died at Madrid on the 1.1th of January 1641, leaving behind him a
translation
  of the Pharsalia which was not published till 1684. This rendering. reveals Jauregui as a complete convert to the new school, and it has been argued that, exaggerating the affinities between
Lucan
  and Gongoraboth of Cordovan descenthe deliberately translated the thought of the earlier poet into the vocabulary of the later master. This is possible; but it is at least as likely that Jauregui unconsciously yielded to the current of popular
taste
 , with no other intention than that of conciliating the public of his own day.
