«El espejo del tiempo: La historia y el arte de España» is the essay by Juan Pablo Fusi and Francisco Calvo Serraller (Taurus, hardback, 568 pp., Spanish).
It starts from the idea that painting illuminates history: in fifty brief chapters, the authors trace Spain's political, social, cultural and artistic trajectory from the fifteenth century to the present, matching each episode with a painting and its interpretation. The result is a narrative that reads as a history of Spain and, at the same time, as a history of art.
It belongs to the Taurus Pensamiento collection. Edition number 2, originally published on 4 November 2009.
For readers interested in the history of Spain and the history of art who want a visual and comprehensive approach to both fields.
Juan Pablo Fusi Aizpurúa is a Spanish historian. He specialises in contemporary history, the Basque Country and nationalisms.
