Aguafuertes

In Aguafuertes, Jesús del Campo paints a colorful picture of the Baroque, a time when the air smelled of gunpowder and the seas of spices. Each of these extraordinary vignettes, drawn with the finesse of a historian, transport us to an era in which the desires and violence were no obstacle to eroticism and love, and in whose battles and intrigues we can sense the eternal "dance of mortals on the deceitful paths of life." Peasants, explorers, wandering musicians, soldiers, merchants, spies and nobles of idle life give in this kaleidoscopic story the measure of the human in all its contradiction and fragility.
