With this catalogue the Museo del Prado joins the recent research that has led to a more rigorous knowledge of the artist's work. The first essay, by Gudrun Maurer, curator of the exhibition, deals with the figure of the painter in the context of his time, focusing on the aspects that set him apart from his contemporaries. The second, by the technical staff of the Museo del Prado and the Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao and based on the examination of several paintings carried out in recent years, analyses the artist's admirable manner of working. The volume is completed with catalogue sheets in which the curator and other specialists offer new and varied perspectives on the works on display.
