He married Graciela Patino (1895-1980), third child of Simon Patino (1860-1947), the famous "king of tin". His long embassy in Paris left its mark on the elegant circles of the capital. Their mansion at 34 Avenue Foch was one of the centers of artistic and social life. Jorge Ortiz Linares, a collector with a passion for rare books and manuscripts since his youth, organized his library around two axes: his original Spanish-South American world with rare copies of Cervantes and Goya, and French literature with rare editions of Guillaume de Lorris, Corneille, Descartes, Pascal, Racine, Molière and La Rochefoucauld. These precious books, which have disappeared for so long, are appearing again on the market for the great pleasure of bibliophiles and amateurs. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6A2iC0fEZxs?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/sothebys-spotlight-the-history-of-science-technology 2024-04-22T11:57:42-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/b6/cd/4a33122744edbc541605d35d003e/historyscitech-thumbnail.png Sotheby’s Spotlight: The History of Science & Technology The History of Science & Technology, brings together superlative items from the most important scientific and cultural developments of the 19th and 20th centuries.
