Inventories of Juana of Austria, Princess of Portugal (1535-1573).

Is the tittle of the whole transcription of invetories of Princess Juana of Austria, the sister of Philip II of Spain, a great art collector, patron of artists from the second half of the 16th century and also the founder of the monastery of Las Descalzas Reales. This compendium of documents has been recently published by Almudena Pérez de Tudela, curator at Patrimonio Nacional, in collaboration with the University of Jaén and it can be the origin of new lines of research linked to the collection of paintings and tapestries of this Princess, who influenced the Spanish court at that time.

A new Rubens in Salamanca.

Rubens has been identified, by professor Díaz Padrón, as the author of the canvas Saint Augustine, whis is located at the high altar in the convent of Augustinian Recollects in Salamanca. The iconography, composition, style, technic and quality of this painting have allowed for recognising the work of the flemish master, as it is detailed in the corresponding paper.
