Abstract

Ekphrasis, de ned as the verbal description of a visual work of art, was not regarded in rhetoric as a separate genre. Its e ects were studied as part of enargeia or evidentia, intended to place a scene before the reader’s eyes. Despite this lack of theoretical status, the practice of ekphrasis has had a presence in the texts themselves since the time of Homer. In this study a corpus of non-Hispanic texts is surveyed in order to establish the recurrent topics of the genre. This is followed by an analysis of certain Spanish texts of the fteenth century.
