«El sueño de Venecia» is the contemporary fiction novel by Paloma Díaz-Mas, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (224 pages, in Spanish).
A painting made around 1665 by a freed slave portrays a courtesan and the child who was her husband, and passes from hand to hand for centuries.

For readers of contemporary fiction seeking novels with different narrative voices and with history and art as a guiding thread.
