El triunfo de la pintura: Sobre el coleccionismo cortesano en el siglo XVII is a study by Jonathan Brown that explores the fascinating history of art collecting in the European courts of the 17th century. After the death of Charles I of England, his vast art collection was auctioned off, unleashing a competition among European royalty and nobility to acquire masterpieces. Brown describes the extraordinary collection assembled by Philip IV of Spain and analyzes the collecting habits of collectors such as Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria and Cardinal Richelieu of France. This book offers a deep insight into the world of art and power in the 17th century.
