The Patronage of Don Juan of Sanclemente. A Cordovan Archbishop of Santiago
Journal Title: UcoArte. Revista de Teoría e Historia del Arte - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Don Juan of Sanclemente was born in Cordoba. He was formed in Alcalá, Sigüenza and Valladolid, whose University was professor. He later became a canon of Badajoz, where he met Felipe II, who promoted him to the episcopate. He was bishop of Ourense, (1579-1587), and archbishop of Santiago (1587-1602). He implanted in their dioceses the provisions of the Council of Trent, from which derived a significant part of their patronage: promoting the construction of new choirs and other interventions. Drake´s attacks and the English fleet to Galicia, hunger and plagues that followed proved his strength. The education of children and young people led him to found free schools, and after his death, the magnificent Sanclemente of Pasantes School in Santiago.
