El maestro del Prado
Javier Sierra
Publicado: 2013 | 220 páginas
Novela Intriga

El maestro del Prado es un misterioso personaje que se ofrece a explicarle a Javier Sierra las claves ocultas de sus pinturas más célebres. Según el inesperado maestro, visiones místicas, anuncios proféticos, conspiraciones, herejías y hasta mensajes que parecen llegados del «otro lado» inspiraron a maestros como Rafael, Tiziano, el Bosco, Juan de Juanes, Botticelli, Brueghel o el Greco.

Poco a poco va decepcionando conforme avanzas en la lectura ( )

Esta novela detectivesca deambula, como tantas otras, entre cátaros, adamitas, alquimistas y rosacruces. El argumento es una excusa para ofrecernos una guía altenativa del Museo del Prado. Recopilando datos y estudios de numerosos investigadores, el autor, mediante el personaje de un enigmático maestro invita a mirar con otros ojos, menos técnicos y más simbólicos, las pinturas de Rafael, Tiziano, el Bosco, Brueghel, el Greco o Juan de Juanes. Planteamientos interesantes, enfoques sorprendentes, más enigmas que conclusiones: un acicate para visitar la famosa pinacoteca. ( )

Were it possible to give zero stars I would have done so. This book is a mishmosh of heresies and conspiracy theories, poorly written or at least poorly translated. I was interested in it because I had fairly recently spent a good deal of time visiting The Prado. As other reviews posted here have said, just buy a guidebook for the museum and skip this! ( )
