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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRich in illustrations and fascinating texts, this overview takes a thematic and chronological approach to the era and its later influences. Opening with Spain's emergence as a European power, it explores how developments such as the construction of El Escorial ushered in a new era for painting; how the cities of Madrid, Toledo, and Seville developed as centers of intellectual, political, and artistic activity; and how the Baroque period gave way to the Rococo after the collapse of the Habsburg empire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEvery major painter of the period is included here, with 250 gloriously reproduced works by El Greco, Ribera, Velázquez, Zurbarán, Murillo, Ribalta, Goya, and dozens more. A final chapter reveals how Spanish painters of the twentieth century, such as Picasso and Dalí, were shaped by their Golden Age forebears.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norbert Wolf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3791379461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783791379463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prestel Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.50h x 12.50w x 2.10d","brand":"Norbert Wolf","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44121555828991,"sku":"9783791379463","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da5d3c22-26b1-44b1-9952-7771ed905e9e.jpg?v=1687420372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spanish-painting-norbert-wolf-9783791379463","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
