Аннотация:
This book covers the historical, literary, and artistic grandeur of Spain during its Golden Age (1492-1659), a period marked by conquest and Catholicism, austere classical architecture and the exuberance of the Baroque, the writings of Cervantes, the paintings of Zurbaran, Murillo, and El Greco, and culminating in a blaze of glory with the paintings of Diego Velazquez. In this volume, Joan Sureck, the renowned Catalan art historian and museum director, places the painting, sculpture, and architecture of the Golden Age in a cultural, historical, and aesthetic context and sheds new light on some of the most celebrated works of the period. This is the first book in English to explore Golden Age paintings alongside architecture and sculpture to give a complete picture of the sumptuousness of the era. All of the artworks were specially photographed for this tribute.
