This catalogue--the first scholarly monograph on Pareja-- discusses the painter's ties to the Madrid School of the 1660s and revises our understanding of artistic production during Spain's Golden Age, with a focus on enslaved artists and artisans. The authors illuminate the highly skilled labor within Seville's multiracial society; the role of Black saints and confraternities in the promotion of Catholicism among enslaved populations; and early twentieth-century scholar Arturo Schomburg's project to recover Pareja's legacy. The book also includes the first illustrated and annotated list of known works attributed to Pareja. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (April 3-July 16, 2023) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Pullins\u003c\/b\u003e is associate curator in the Department of European Paintings at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. \u003cb\u003eVanessa K.
