Las naciones, como los imperios, son creaciones históricas, artificiales, y, como tales, tienen fechas de origen y caducidad, pues con el tiempo todos terminan por desaparecer. El arranque de la construcción nacional del Estado moderno en España se hizo al unísono que la forja del Imperio.

Cole examines Sofonisba's paintings as expressions of her relationships and networks, looking at why Sofonisba was able to become a great woman artist: at her father, who decided to allow her to be educated as a painter; at her teacher, Bernardino Campi; and at her relationships with her students, sisters, and patrons, who included the Queen of Spain. Cole demonstrates that Sofonisba made teaching and education a central theme of her painting. The book also provides the first complete catalogue of all of Sofonisba's known works"--
