Jerónimo Corte-Real was a 16th-century Portuguese poet, known for his epic and lyrical output. He stood out in his time as one of the important literary figures, with works that reflect the ideals and concerns of the 16th-century society. His poetry, although part of the Portuguese Renaissance context, reveals his own voice that delves into themes such as glory, honor, and the transience of life, with a grandiloquent and careful style.
