Description
La virgen y el violín is a novel that recreates the life of Sofonisba Anguissola, a 16th-century painter from Lombardy. Set against the backdrop of the royal court and the city where the famous Stradivarius violins were made, this book brings to life the story of an artist who was both a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elisabeth of Valois and a wife to a Spanish nobleman.
The novel explores Anguissola's life, including her marriage, her art, and her relationships with other notable figures of the time, such as Miguel Ángel and the nephew of Moctezuma. It also delves into the world of the royal court, the lives of the nobility, and the artisans who created the instruments that accompanied them.
This novel is a rich tapestry of historical events and personal stories, woven together to create a vivid portrait of life in 16th-century Europe.
