«Velázquez desaparecido» is the art history essay by Laura Cumming, published by Taurus in hardback (336 pages, in Spanish).
In 1845, the bookseller John Snare bought a blackened portrait of a prince that he believed was a lost Velázquez. Laura Cumming reconstructs his story and interweaves Snare's life with that of Velázquez, authenticity, and the obsession of artists and collectors, from the seventeenth-century Spanish court to the nineteenth-century auctions of London and New York.
The translation is by Belén Urrutia Domínguez. It belongs to the Pensamiento collection, from Taurus. It was published in 2016. Hardback edition with dust jacket.
Aimed at readers interested in art history, artist biographies, and stories of mystery and authenticity; ages 16 and up.
