Abstract
El Colegio Imperial de Madrid reunió a lo largo de su historia una de las bibliotecas más importantes de España, posiblemente la segunda después de la Biblioteca Real. Gracias al inventario redactado en 1769 conocemos que su sala principal estaba decorada con veinte pinturas siguiendo un programa iconográfico basado en la obra del jesuita Claude Clément. El inventario recoge la autoría de tres de los lienzos: el flamenco Ignacio Raeth, y los españoles Alonso del Arco y Juan de Alfaro.
