In his mansion in El Pardo, King Carlos III of Spain housed a vast art collection, including tapestries, porcelain, and musical instruments. Among his tapestries stood out the set depicting hunting scenes, where the fine gold and silver threads woven into the details and the expressions of the hunters evoked dazzling luxury. Throughout his reign, Carlos III carried out numerous reforms in the Palace of El Pardo, turning it into a residence of great splendor. The fusion of material wealth and good taste in interior decoration is an outstanding example of French influence in 18th-century Spain.

During the Renaissance, art and literature were deeply intertwined, creating works that not only reflected aesthetic beauty but also conveyed philosophical and political ideas of the time. In 'El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha', a masterpiece of universal literature written by Miguel de Cervantes, the use of the participle in various verbal forms can be observed, contributing to the analysis of the characters and the plot. An example of this is the use of the participle to describe the state of the direct object, as in the phrase 'una espada rota'. The participle, as part of compound tenses and the passive voice, enriches the narrative by offering a dynamic view of the actions, both in the past and in the present. Considering the historical and cultural context of the Renaissance and the linguistic analysis of the participle's use in 'Don Quijote', identify the function of the participle and its effect on the construction of meaning in the phrase 'una espada rota'.
