Los emblemas que utilizan la figura de un ciervo sucumbiendo a la música originada por unos instrumentistas es una de las imágenes que se utilizaron en los tratados barrocos para hacer referencia a la lisonja. Partiendo de la mítica atracción que el animal sentía hacia los sonidos armoniosos, en estas representaciones se identificaba a los instrumentistas con cazadores y al ciervo con el adulado, llegando en ocasiones a ser utilizada esta imagen como símbolo del monarca y de los peligros que le acechaban en la Corte. En este artículo comentaremos algunas de las más interesantes representaciones que de este tipo se realizaron en la emblemática y analizaremos de manera detallada la interesante connotación musical que se deriva de identificar la mentira a los sonidos dulces y armoniosos y la verdad a lo desagradable de oír.
Emblems employing the figure of a deer yielding to the music created by instrumentists are included in Early Modern treatises in order to allude to flattering. Stemming from the legendary attraction that this animal felt towards harmonious sounds, these images identified instrumentists with hunters, and then with flatterers, and the deer with the flattered, to the extent that this image was at times associated as a symbol of the monarch and the dangers awaiting at the court. This article deals with some of the most significant emblems of this kind. We will analyze in detail the musical connotations derived from identifying lying with sweet and harmonious sounds, and truth with those which are unpleasant to the ear.
