Resumen de El patio de Vélez Blanco: un nuevo dibujo y el castillo de los Fajardo
This article presents a recently recovered visual representation of the patio from the castle of Vélez Blanco. The sketch, never published by the scientific bibliography dedicated to the patio and dating back to 1805, allows to formulate new hypotheses about its original installation: an important circumstance because — sold in 1904, after years of neglect and abandonment — the patio was disassembled and separated from its original location and is now displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The discovery of this sketch enriches in a fundamental way the knowledge surrounding the castle of Vélez Blanco, an extraordinary complex and one of the first examples of the importation to the Iberian peninsula of a classicizing vocabulary based on contemporary models offered by the TuscanLombard artistic production
