From El Greco to Goya: Painting in Spain 1561-1828 - Softcover

Reseña del editor

For sophomore/junior/senior-level courses on Spanish Arts, Baroque Arts, and Art and Culture of Europe. This well-illustrated text examines international painting in Spain-in historical context from the reign of the Habsburg King Philip II to the death of Goya-unique in its approach; it goes beyond the existing studies of Golden Age painting to cover political, social, and religious contexts and art by non-Spanish masters working for the Habsburgs and Bourbons. It reveals the extraordinary depth and breadth of painting in Spain during this period and questions the usual interpretations of high Spanish culture.
