The dispersion paths of the painting collection of the VI Count of Monterrey

Abstract

This article is framed within the research carried out during the author's doctoral thesis The Italian painting in the collections of the VI Count of Monterrey, defended in 2021 at the University of Salerno, and whose chapter is dedicated to the study of the paths of disintegration of the collection has remained unpublished to this day. The work not only clarifies some of the fate of the works that Manuel de Zúñiga kept in his usual home, but also opens new lines of research into whereabouts that could range from Galician churches and convents to a Roman collection.
