Instant death

At noon on October 4, 1599, two unusual opponents are found on a public tennis platform on Piazza Navon in Rome. One is a famous artist from Lombardy, whose work will forever change the ideas of contemporaries about painting. Another is a young poet, who later became one of the pillars of the Golden Age of Spanish literature. The adventure novel represents familiar heroes (Galilee, Caravaggio, Kevedo, Cortes and many others) that we have never seen them before, and challenges everything that we know about European colonialism, history, art and modernity. The book was awarded the prestigious Erralda Prize in Spain (2013), the Elena Ponatovskaya International Prize in Mexico and the Barcelona Prize. Translated into several languages.
