Many of the featured artists were court painters under sovereigns whose tastes influenced the art world of the 16th and 17th centuries. This superb selection of twenty-eight paintings includes works by Jan Breughel, Guercino, Peter Paul Rubens, Titian, and Diego Velázquez. Included is Titian's \u003ci\u003eReclining Venus with Cupid and a Musician\u003c\/i\u003e, probably painted by the artist for Charles V, and several works by Rubens, who painted a considerable number of works for the Spanish court. Informative catalogue entries accompany an essay by Javier Portús on the Spanish royal taste in collecting and the role of painting within European politics of the day and a contemporary response to understanding the nude in Renaissance and Baroque painting by Jill Burke. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Clark Art Institute \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClark Art Institute\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 06\/11\/16-10\/10\/16\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas J.
