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. 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.
Every 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.
NORBERT WOLF, an art historian based in Munich, Germany, has published several
books with Prestel, including Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Impressionism, and The Golden
Age of Dutch and Flemish Painting, as well as monographs on Albrecht Dürer and
Titian.
