«El espejo del tiempo: La historia y el arte de España» is the essay by Juan Pablo Fusi and Francisco Calvo Serraller (Taurus, hardcover, 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 November 4, 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.
