Research on history education and historical thinking is becoming increasingly relevant internationally. The need for a renewal of history education is not only justified by the epistemology of history itself, but also by the demand for a methodological change in education in general, making students active protagonists in the construction of their learning and based on the development of competencies.

La Universidad de Barcelona custodia uno de los depósitos de pintura más antiguos, extensos y variados del Museo del Prado, integrado por 56 obras, la mayor parte de las cuales llegó entre 1877 y 1882 a la plaza Universidad para engalanar el nuevo edificio que había proyectado Elias Rogent. Este fondo constituye un signo de identidad de la institución, que inicia la renovación de su catálogo artístico con este libro —el primero de una serie— en el que han colaborado una treintena de especialistas de las universidades y los centros de investigación más importantes de Cataluña. En sus contribuciones, los autores destacan tanto la revisión en profundidad de una colección singular como la voluntad de dar a conocer nuevas atribuciones a obras inéditas y propuestas interpretativas hasta ahora desconocidas.
