The author starts from the concept of \"greatness\" as a tool of power to project an image of unity and splendor, masking the social and political contradictions of the era. Through the analysis of representative works and authors, it reveals how art became an instrument for the legitimization of monarchical and religious power, while beneath that brilliant surface, class conflicts, territorial tensions, and power struggles were simmering.
