Rojo veneciano

Valladolid, 1620. Martin de Castro is a painter of saints whose wife died giving birth to their beloved daughter, Juana. The girl herself shows from a very young age an authentic talent for painting. Already a teenager, two events occur that will change her hitherto placid life: Martín is seduced by an intriguing woman who ends up becoming his stepmother and she, in turn, begins an intense relationship with Francisco Peña, his father's best apprentice. . This is how this intense, baroque and fascinating novel begins in which the author of it has wasted narrative talent to recreate the life of a woman who has to carry out her art in hiding, thus refusing to accept a destiny imposed by others. A life full of rebellion and full of experiences that brings the fascinating 17th century to the present. From the Venice of the doges to the Rome of the popes, passing through the Madrid of the Habsburgs and the severe Valladolid, Juana will get to know first-hand the artistic environment of her time and historical figures such as Diego Velázquez himself or Felipe IV.
