Spanish Painting. From the Golden Age to Modernism

Beautifully packaged, this lavish volume is certain to become the definitive study of one of the most significant periods in European art history.
Coinciding with the rise of the Habsburg dynasty and the expansion of the Spanish Empire, the Spanish Golden Age created a fertile environment for cultural and scientific discovery. Some of the country's greatest music, literature, and architecture was created in the period between the mid-sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-and painting was no exception.
Rich in illustrations and fascinating texts, this overview takes a thematic and chronological approach to the era and its later influences.
