The Spanish Golden Age (1580-1680) was similar to the Italian Renaissance, a period of great flourishing in the arts and in literature.
Although some might quibble over the exact dates, Spanish literature of the Golden Age (or “Siglo de Oro” in Spanish) usually refers to those works produced in Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries. It is a period that encompasses what is often broadly known–especially in other European countries-- as the Renaissance and the Baroque. [1]
During this Golden Age El Greco, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo and Velázquez painted their masterpieces, and Cervantes wrote "Don Quixote," a great satirical novel. There was also tremendous playwriting by Lope de Vega and acting on stage.
