Résumé
What matters most in life, and in every choice, where there is both light and darkness?Chiaroscuro is a life-affirming mystery that answers this question. It is full of surprises and is based on actual events in the lives of three of the world's most celebrated artists. On a winter's night in Madrid in 1658 Francisco Zurbaran, known as the Spanish Caravaggio, is consumed by jealousy of his friend, the king's painter, Diego Velazquez.
He is tormented by the evidence he must give to an investigation into whether Velazquez is worthy of immortality. Zurbaran has the more pressing concern of restoring his reputation, while Velazquez desires the certainty of redemption, the two of them following in the footsteps of Caravaggio who wanted both. But his wife, Leonor, is taking matters into her own hands by seeking out the mystic, the Abbess of Agreda, one of the most powerful women in Spain, to intervene, whilst Don Diego and Don Fernando, the two investigators, interrogate witnesses in their inimitable way.
Will Leonor or someone else influence Francisco Zurbaran's choice? Who is deluded and who will be redeemed? What matters most?
