«Historias inmortales» is a collective essay by the Fundación Amigos del Museo del Prado on art history, published by Galaxia Gutenberg in hardcover.
Starting from Alberti's assertion that history is the principal part of painting, it analyzes how artists used myths, legends and historical episodes as subject matter. It reviews the repertoires of images that emerged since the Renaissance, with attention to Ovid's Metamorphoses and to Alciato, Ripa and Cartari, and to recent historiography.
First edition of 2002: 430 pages in Spanish, in the Fundación Amigos del Museo del Prado collection. Includes contributions by Svetlana Alpers, John H. Elliott and Francisco Calvo Serraller.
For a general audience interested in art history, iconography and art criticism.
