Abstract

The paper reflects on the connections between painting and literature in the Baroque period through sor Juana Inés de la Cruz’s famous sonnet 145 en-titled “To Her Portrait”. Sor Juana’s verses show a close relationship between word-image that exalted Baroque art, reflected in the Tenth Muse sonnet. In this study we will review different portraits of the author that have been reserved; in this poem as well as other references scattered references across her work, the Mexican writer recovers the main themes of Baroque poetry in order to write about the artifice of art and the contrariety of being reflected in the mirror of the painting. In this way, throughout the Golden Ages, the subjects of the poetic genre of the portrait are subverted
