Spanish: Juan de Padilla el Cartujo, el Cartujo
PADILLA, JUAN de. - Spanish poet, b. at Seville in 1468, d. probably in 1522. He professed in his native city at the charterhouse of S. Maria de las Cuevas, whence the epithet "el Cartujo," by which P. is also known.
His poem Retablo sobre la vida de Nuestro Redentor Jesucristo (Seville 1516) has been compared to the contemporary Spanish expressions of painting and sculpture. The other, Los doce triunfos de los doce Apóstoles (ibid. 1521), moves in the wake of Dante's Commedia (P. belonged to the allegorical-Dantesque school that arose in Spain through the work of Francisco Imperial), of Petrarch's Trionfi and of J. de Mena's Laberinto; turbidity of imagination and delicacy of feeling, classical aspirations and a fundamental medieval spirit coexist in it strangely, dominated by three essential themes: fear of death, dismay at hell, nostalgia for childhood. The youthful poem Laberinto del Marqués de Cádiz, on the conquest of Granada, is lost.
