Antonio del Castillo, who is one of the most important artists of the
Spanish Baroque, has long been in need of a monograph that presents his
autograph production, both the paintings and drawings. Castillo’s
paintings are faithful to the chiaroscuro naturalism of Zurbarán, but
they distinguish themselves by his prodigious narrative sense through
which he achieves a graceful and skilful treatment of space. The
authors publish numerous new documents about the painter that will help
to know him more in depth.and will support his work more precisely
studying the preparatory sketches for his compositions, his inspiration
sources and the influence present in his
followers.
