The Ladies-In-Waiting by Santiago Garcia, Javier Olivares
4.0
I have seen the painting in person at Museo del Prado. I also visited the Picasso Museum in Barcelona with the paintings inspired by Las Meninas. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the backstory.
The book is wonderful. The only criticisms I have is that it is at times hard to keep the characters straight and that it is sometimes difficult to tell when and where we are in the story. The coloring of the background helps with the timeline, but wasn't enough to prevent me from being taken out of the story a few times.
Overall, I really liked the book and would recommend it to anyone interested in art and/or history.
