Tríptico de la infamia relata las complejas relaciones entre el Viejo y el Nuevo Continente en los primeros años de vida de América, con el convulsionado siglo XVI como telón de fondo.
Tres pintores europeos narran la historia. Jacques Le Moyne, cartógrafo y pintor de Diepa; François Dubois, pintor de Amiens, y Théodore de Bry, grabador de Lieja, se enfrentan por distintos caminos a la fascinación del mundo recién descubierto, pero también al exterminio y el despojo que, en nombre de la religión, se llevan a cabo a ambos lados del Atlántico. Son, cada uno a su manera, testigos, beneficiarios y víctimas de las grandezas e iniquidades de su tiempo, y de ello dan cuenta con las herramientas de su oficio.
Con una prosa de gran factura y una sorprendente capacidad para dar materialidad al relato, Pablo Montoya logra sumergir al lector en una época de grandes cambios, polémicas y descubrimientos. Y recuerda, con testimonios asombrosos, los horrores de la Conquista y de las guerras religiosas que marcaron el destino de tantos hombres.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Three sixteenth-century painters try to understand the violence in Europe and the New World.
Triptych of Infamy is a portrait of the complex relations between the old and new worlds during the early colonization of the Americas.
Three European artists narrate this novel: Jacques Le Moyne, a cartographer and painter from Dieppe; François Dubois, a painter from Amiens; and Théodore de Bry, an engraver from Liège. Each takes a different approach to the conquest of the Americas and the killing and devastation wrought in the name of religion on both sides of the Atlantic. They are witnesses, beneficiaries and victims of the glories and inequities of the times, and depict these contradictions in their art.
With weighty prose and an astounding ability to bring his material to life, Pablo Montoya immerses the reader in an era of great change, polemics and discoveries. The surprising stories told in this novel are a vivid account of the conquests and religious wars that shaped the destinies of so many human beings.
