The location of new documents concerning the commissions by the Count-Duke of Olivares of various series of paintings for the decoration of the Buen Retiro Palace from the Marquis of Castel-Rodrigo, Spanish Ambassador to Rome, and the Count of Monterrey, Viceroy of Naples, between 1633 and 1642, have allowed for: the specification of the chronology and the contents of the different shipments; the confirmation of the role of Gaspar de Guzmán as coordinator of the entire commission; the knowledge of the kind of instructions exchanged between Philip IV’s favorite and Spanish diplomats in Italy; and the identification of the emplacement of some of the works, such as the Saint John the Baptist cycle, intended to decorate the Oratory of the Palace.
