El pintor de su deshonra

El pintor de su deshonra ("The Painter of His Own Dishonor"), sometimes known as El pintor ("The Painter"), is a 1640s play of the Spanish Golden Age theatre by Pedro Calderón de la Barca. It is one of the author's three famous wife-murder plays, along with A secreto agravio, secreta venganza ("Secret Vengeance for Secret Insult") and El médico de su honra ("The Physician of His Own Honor"), where private revenge of an aggrieved husband, in this case a painter by the name of Juan Roca, ultimately becomes very public. It has been translated into English several times, notably (and freely) by Edward FitzGerald.
