«El velázquez de París» is the novel by Carmen Boullosa, published by Siruela in paperback (148 pages, in Spanish).
In early 2001, in a small restaurant in Paris, a man claims to possess the Velázquez painting that was presumed lost in the fire at the Royal Alcázar of Madrid in 1734: The Expulsion of the Moriscos. The novel follows the story of that work and its long journey, moving from the intimate to the historical and from hallucination to realistic introspection, around the relationship between art and life.
It belongs to the Nuevos Tiempos / New Times collection, number 100. This is the first edition, published on 11 May 2007.
