Prado publishes Roberto Longhi's lost essay linking Pedro Berruguete to the court of Urbino

For the first time, the Museo Nacional del Prado has released a previously lost essay by renowned Italian art historian Roberto Longhi, written over a century ago. Featured in the fifth volume of the Prado's Bicentennial Collection, titled 'El solemnísimo maestro Pedro Berruguete,' this work was edited by art historian Tommaso Mozzati. Longhi's essay, inspired by his travels in Spain during the summer of 1920, sparked an ongoing debate regarding the artistic interactions between Spain and Italy during the Renaissance. He speculated that Pedro Berruguete, a prominent late 15th-century Castilian painter, may have spent significant time at Federico da Montefeltro's court in Urbino. This publication significantly enriches art historical research by making this critical text available after more than a century.
