Este ensayo, resultado de las conferencias impartidas por el autor durante el desempeño de la Cátedra Museo del Prado en 2022, se ocupa de una cuestión tan amplia y sugerente como es la presencia de la arquitectura en la pintura, tema fronterizo de gran complejidad y riqueza, que lleva a plantear la idea central que recorre el libro: si la historia de la pintura no puede prescindir del estudio de la representacion del espacio arquitectonico, la historia de la arquitectura tampoco puede obviar esas arquitecturas pintadas que al cabo expresan de modo elocuente los ideales espaciales de una determinada epoca. La presencia de la arquitectura en la pintura se aborda aqui desde varios aspectos desarrollados por capitulos: la representacion de ciudades, la imagen del arquitecto y los procesos de construccion, los recintos de la creatividad, los espacios liminares y las ruinas.
