Luis de Góngora y Argote (born Luis de Argote y Góngora; ; 11 July 1561 – 24 May 1627) was a Spanish Baroque lyric poet and a Catholic prebendary for the Church of Córdoba. Góngora and his lifelong rival, Francisco de Quevedo, are widely considered the most prominent Spanish poets of all time. His style is characterized by what was called ''culteranismo'', also known as ''Gongorismo''. This style apparently existed in stark contrast to Quevedo's ''conceptismo'', though Quevedo was highly influenced by his older rival from whom he may have isolated "conceptismo" elements.
