La obra maestra desconocida

Synopsis of La obra maestra desconocida

The elderly painter Frenhofer sets out to create the perfect work of art as the culmination of all his efforts, a painting to which he devotes long hours and which, hidden in his studio, he refuses to exhibit. Two younger artists, Porbus and Poussin, try to convince him to show it to them, intrigued to see if it is as extraordinary a painting as the master claims. The Unknown Masterpiece analyzes whether genius is a subjective term and whether our behavior depends on the concept we have of ourselves.
