During the so-called literary Barroque, the subject matter referring to feminine portrait reaches its height in European lyric. Following the literary patterns inaugurated by Petrarca’s work during Middle Age’s twilight, Luis de Góngora contributes to the creation of a new discourse concerning this theme. In this context, the Brazilian Botelho de Oliveira appropriates Gongoric style in keeping with the translatio studii procedures and according to the imitatio rules that governed lyric processes at that time. By doing this, he creates his own poetic beloved Anarda, endowing his work with full originality.
