Resumen

Mientras que en Inglaterra el recuerdo de Tomás Moro había sido borrado de la vida pública tras su ejecución (6 de junio de 1535), los católicos ingleses exiliados en los Países Bajos españoles preservaron su figura y su legado. Además, la inclusión del grabado de Moro en los libros de retratos de personalidades ilustres del siglo XVI –el llamado género viri illustres–, contribuyó a la promoción del célebre humanista inglés en la Europa continental. Muy pronto, la integridad y sabiduría de Moro fueron exaltadas no sólo en obras impresas en países católicos, sino también en otros territorios que ya no aceptaban la autoridad de Roma. Este trabajo analiza la representación (tanto en imagen como en texto) del humanista inglés en todas estas obras. La retórica visual y textual de estos grabados muestra su mutua dependencia.
