Zusammenfassung
A review is proposed around the formation of the stereotype of the Spanish woman through the image of the gypsy woman in the arts. Different sources are used such as texts, prints and paintings. Analysis of the various sources will help us to study some common themes in the image of the formation of the stereotype of the Spanish gypsy woman with other precedents, finding congruence with the universal myth of Venus which makes a common link between the stereotype of the sensual woman picked up in iconography and reflected in visual and literary works highlighting Carmen by Prosper Mérimée.
