	Philip III of Spain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The new king put the direction of his government entirely into the hands of his favourite, the duke of Lerma, Francisco Goméz de Sandoval y Rojas, and when he fell under the influence of Lerma's son, Cristóbal de Sandoval, the duke of Uceda in 1618, he trusted himself and his states to the new favourite.

		Lerma's father-in-law became president of Castile's primary governing council, and his uncle was appointed Archbishop of Toledo, head of the Church in Spain.

		The inventories of the private picture collection of the Duke of Lerma discovered by Sarah Schroth record over 2000 works, making him the most important non-royal collector in Europe at the time and indicating a much higher level of artistic activity at the court than had previously been thought.
		Among the contents of Lerma’s Madrid palace in 1605 was the “camarín”, a Spanish version of a kunstkammer, containing 547 pieces of luxury glass and ceramics (a camarín will be reconstructed for the exhibition).
		The Lerma inventories themselves offer one element of absolute proof that in the art world at the turn of the seventeenth century it is illogical to think of Spain, still the most powerful monarchy in the world, as operating apart and isolated from the groundbreaking creations by artists in Italy and Flanders.

		The duke built San Pedro, a massive palace and religious community, at his birthplace, and hosted Philip II there on three occasions: 1610, 1614, and 1617.
		By 1617, the duke was concerned that his position was being jeopardized by political intrigues, so the entertainment he planned for the king in that year was more impressive than the two that preceded it.
		Secular diversions were not forgotten, but the Duke of Lerma appealed to Philip III's piety by planning a procession and service for the Translation of the Blessed Sacrament into the church at San Pedro.

		He considers himself as the Duke of Lerma's colleague; and in point of fact, he may truly be said to parcel out the loaves and fishes of administration, since he gives away offices and governments at the suggestions of his own caprice.
		If the duke did not satisfy their wants, he put a pleasant face upon their importunities; and it struck me that he returned a civil answer to all applicants.
