Product description

Review

"Pioneering... collectors may find [it] even more gripping than the exhibition". -The New York Times

"Well-written and superbly and generously illustrated ... a narrative history of graphic arts in Spain, and an important addition to the standard bibliography. No such survey in English was ever attempted before. ...The author's lucid, engaging prose in the book reflects the clear organisation and telling juxtapositions of prints and drawings in this informative and beautiful exhibition". --The Burlington Magazine

From the Back Cover

This beautiful and comprehensive volume of prints and drawings examines the history of graphic practice in Spain for the first time, providing an overview of more than four hundred years of artistic production and revealing how each region of Spain was an independent centre of artistic activity. Renaissance to Goya includes exquisite examples of prints and drawings from the late fifteenth century through to the Golden Age of the seventeenth century, featuring key works from Berruguete, the Carducho brothers, Murillo, Ribera, Zurbarán and the extraordinary drawings of Velázquez. The book concludes with the Enlightenment and a remarkable collection of Goya prints, and works by Goya s contemporaries Lucas, Camaron and the Tiepolo family of Madrid. Featured are over 150 illustrations from the British Museum's collection, one of the finest outside Spain, last shown in the 1970s and never before catalogued, alongside key works from institutions across Spain.
