Overview

El mayor pintor de la Historia. Las intrigas de una corte. La verdad de un reino.

"Una voz con ánimos renovados que entra con fuerza en la novela histórica española". LUIS ZUECO

En una corte repleta de escándalos, un joven de Sevilla obsesionado con la luz consigue convertirse no solo en pintor de cámara, sino en el artista más importante de la Historia de España.

¿Cómo llega Velázquez a ser el pintor del rey?

Siglo XVII. La entrada de Velázquez en palacio tuvo lugar en uno de los momentos más fascinantes de la Historia. Mientras la reina Isabel sufre por no poder dar un heredero al trono, Felipe IV pasa las noches entre aventuras amorosas conocidas por todo el reino.

La suma de tensiones políticas y matrimoniales llevan a la corte a un truculento laberinto de intrigas y al rey a escuchar los consejos de un único hombre, el misterioso y oscuro Gaspar de Guzmán, conde-duque de Olivares, quien ayudará a Velázquez a alcanzar el puesto de pintor de cámara.

Como si de un lienzo se tratara, en Retrato de una corte Clara Mendívil representa la efervescencia de un reino. A través de la vida de Diego Velázquez y Juana Pacheco y de su viaje desde Sevilla al Madrid de los Austrias, la autora nos descubre las aventuras que ocurren tras las puertas del palacio y que pueden cambiar la Historia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The best painter in history. Court intrigue. A kingdom’s truths.

"A bold new voice in Spanish historical novels.”- LUIS ZUECO

In a royal house rocked by scandal, a young man from Seville, obsessed with light, becomes not only the court painter but also the most important artist in Spain’s history.

How did Velázquez become the king’s portraitist?

Eighteenth century. Velázquez’s arrives at court at a fascinating moment in history. While Queen Elizabeth anguishes over her inability to provide an heir to the throne, Philip IV spends his nights in romantic dalliances that are an open secret.

Political and marital intrigues devolve into a web of intrigue that the king navigates with the guidance of one man, the mysterious and sinister Gaspar de Guzmán, the Count-Duke of Olivares, who helps Velázquez rise to the position of court painter.

In Portrait of a Court, Clara Mendívil depicts the bustle of a kingdom as vividly as any canvas. Through Diego Velázquez and Juana Pacheco and their journey from Seville to the Habsburg court in Madrid, she explores the behind-the-scenes palace antics that had the power to change history.
