For the first time, this book offers an overview of the life and work of Pedro de Villafranca y Malagón (c. 1615–1684), whose unparalleled mastery of the burin was recognized with his appointment in 1654 as the king's engraver, a position held by no one else during the reign of Philip IV. His portraits bear a close relationship to those of Velázquez, as they display the artist's equal skill in capturing the character of his subjects. Apart from portraits of the monarch and his family, Villafranca produced more than 300 engravings—mostly book illustrations—but he also worked as a painter, art restorer, appraiser, and head of decorative programs.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Por primera vez se ofrece en este libro un balance de la vida y la obra de Pedro de Villafranca y Malagón (h. 1615–1684), cuya inigualable maestría en el manejo del buril fue reconocida con su nombramiento en 1654 como grabador del rey, cargo que nadie más que él ocupó en tiempos de Felipe IV. Sus retratos guardan una estrecha relación con los de Velázquez, pues muestran la misma habilidad por parte del artista para captar el carácter de sus modelos. Al margen de las efigies del monarca y su familia, Villafranca realizó más de trescientos grabados –sobre todo ilustraciones para libros–, pero trabajó además como pintor, restaurador de obras de arte, tasador y responsable de programas decorativos.
