The album is related to the author’s biography and relationships, with travellers’ testimonies and contemporary images, with special reference to Henry Swinburne. The analysis is set in the historical and geographic framework of the Real Sitio (Aranjuez).

Se parte del conocimiento previo de la identidad de Aranjuez (hechos creativo y recreativo), como base sobre la que investigar los hechos perceptivos, interpretativos, divulgativos e inspiradores. El periodo cronológico que abarca el estudio se corresponde con el proceso de formación de la identidad de Aranjuez desde su concepto inicial en el siglo XVI, hasta los años finales del siglo XIX. Se emplean la pintura, las artes gráficas y la literatura como fuentes documentales. Sobre estas manifestaciones culturales, no sólo se trazará el proceso de formación del mito, también se definirán las constantes de Aranjuez, los valores sobre los que se construye y difunde. Se constata la capacidad de Aranjuez, como obra de arte y escenario para el arte, de convertirse en tema artístico. Se confirma la complementariedad e indisolubilidad que existe entre lo visto y lo escrito. Asimismo se establece la correspondencia entre la imagen de Aranjuez y el concepto de paisaje a lo largo de la historia, que culmina en su definición actual como paisaje cultural.
