PAINTER TO THE KING / AMY SACKVILLE

Título : PAINTER TO THE KING Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: AMY SACKVILLE, Autor Editorial: LONDON : GRANTA BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2018 Número de páginas: 319 PP ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-78378-390-8 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: HISTORICAL FICTION Resumen: This is a portrait of Diego Velazquez, from his arrival at the court of King Philip IV of Spain, to his death 38 years and scores of paintings later. It is a portrait of a relationship that is not quite a friendship, between an artist and his subject. It is a portrait of a ruler, always on duty, and increasingly burdened by a life of public expectation and repeated private grief. And it is a portrait of a court collapsing under the weight of its own excess. Unfolding through series of masterly set-pieces and glancing sketches, this is a novel of brilliance, imagination and sheer style -- about what is shown and what is seen, about art and life.
