Answer :

When Philip IV assumed the Spanish throne in 1598 at the age of sixteen, his principal adviser urged him to rival all the other courts of Europe by sending a naval force against England. The correct answer is this: Employing the greatest painters of the day.

Philip is known for his love of theatre as well as the "astonishing zeal" with which he acquired works of art.  Philip favoured eminent dramatists like Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Lope de Vega, and others on stage. Philip has been given credit for contributing to the writing of various comedies. Perspective scenery was employed in court theatre; at the time, commercial theatre did not use this new Italian concept. The illusion of Baroque royal theatre has been compared by some authors to the illusion of kingly power that the performances were intended to support.

However, some recent scholarship contends that Philip's financial support for playwrights may not have been as significant as previously believed.
