Introduction: The introduction includes a rigorous analysis of the royal inventories requested to the court painters and the location of the works of art in Fortresses, Palaces and other Royal Sites belonging to the spanish monarchy before joining the collections of the Prado Museum.
Biographies: The study of each author starts by introducing both his biography and his signature, which are followed by the analysis of each painting. Many works of art studied in this book are a novelty for the reader.
Analysis: The detailed study of the great paintings in the Prado Museum makes it possible to verify the exciting genesis of the creation of masterpieces by Rubens, Van Dyck as well as by many others, through a generous collection of sketches, replicas, engravings and copies coming from all around the world.
