description With this work, we will approach the complex and dynamic historical context of the first half of 16th-century Seville, when commercial and financial activity acquired dimensions never seen before in Europe thanks to the emerging possibilities of transactions in the New World. The protagonists of this vital impulse, the Spaniards as well as those from other points in the continent, are only partially known. Day after day, new examples of the «man of business with the Indies» appear. Alonso de Oviedo, who is analysed here, helps us to understand in a broader way the temporal, human and economic space indicated. His profile goes beyond the clichés of this typology, as it adds to his dedication to business, an artistic activity very much connected with the economic development mentioned, such as the art of silverwork, also explored in these lines. The relationship with the businesses of pearls and seed pearls fits within one of the chapters of most interest in the European society of the time, associated with luxury and the mystery of faraway lands and seas. The starting point of this research is a large number of unknown documents from the Archivo General de Indias (General Archive of the Indies) and Archivo Histórico Provincial (Provincial Historical Archive), both from Seville.

Los protagonistas de aquel impulso vital, tanto españoles como de otros puntos de Europa, resultan parcialmente conocidos. Día a día surgen nuevos ejemplos del prototipo de «hombre de negocios con Indias». Alonso de Oviedo, aquí analizado, ayuda a comprender con más amplitud el espacio temporal, humano y económico indicado. Su perfil sobrepasa las constantes habituales de esta tipología, pues añade a su dedicación mercantil, una actividad artística muy vinculada al desarrollo económico mencionado, como es el arte de la platería, también explorado en estas líneas. La relación con el negocio de perlas y aljófar encaja dentro de uno de los capítulos que mayor interés despertaron en la sociedad europea de la época, asociado al lujo y al misterio de los mares y tierras lejanas. La investigación parte de abundante documentación inédita procedente del Archivo General de Indias y Archivo Histórico Provincial, ambos de Sevilla.  Ce travail propose une approche au complexe et dynamique contexte historique de la Séville de la première moitié du XVIe siècle, lorsque l’activité commerciale et financière acquièrent quotas inouïes, grâce aux possibilités de transactions ouvertes par le Nouveau Monde. Les protagonistes d’un tel élan vital, des espagnols et des gens d’ailleurs, s’avèrent peu connus. Tous les jours surgissent des exemples du prototype de l’ «homme d’affaires avec les Indes». Alonso de Oviedo, analysé ici, nous aide à mieux comprendre l’espace temporal, humain et économique en question. Son profil dépasse les traits communs de cette typologie, car il ajoute à son activité mercantile une activité artistique liée au développement économique: l’argenterie. Le rapport avec le marché de perles répond à un engouement propre à l’Europe de cette époque, un marché associé au luxe et au mystère des mers et des terres lointaines. Cette recherche se sert des documents inédits conservés dans l’Archivo General de Indias et l’ Archivo Histórico Provincial, à Séville.application/pdftext/xmlspaspaUniversidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombiahttps://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/historia_memoria/article/view/10988/10000https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/historia_memoria/article/view/10988/11131Derechos de autor 2020 Historia Y MEMORIAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Historia Y Memoria; No. 22 (2021): The media and the memory: the mediatization of past; 359-395Historia Y Memoria; Núm. 22 (2021): Enero-Junio 2021.
