«La cara oculta de Felipe II» is a historical essay by Juan G. Atienza, published by Ediciones Martínez Roca in paperback (315 pages, in Spanish).
Atienza explores the lesser-known side of Philip II: his interest in alchemy, magic and the occult in Imperial Spain. He analyzes El Escorial as a projection of the monarch's figure, the tensions between orthodoxy and the esoteric traditions of Renaissance humanism, and episodes that official historiography tends to omit.
The work was published in 1998 with the subtitle «Alquimia y magia en la España del Imperio»; the edition includes illustrations and bibliographic references.
A work of interest for those studying the history of Spain and the esoteric currents of the Renaissance.
