This richly illustrated survey of Spanish painting offers a vivid journey through the nation's artistic heritage, from the early masters to the modern era. Edited by Geoffrey Holme and written by A. de Beruete y Moret, then director of the Prado Museum, it gathers carefully chosen reproductions that showcase the grandeur of Spain's Golden Age and the changing spirit of later centuries. El Greco, Velázquez, Zurbarán, Murillo, Goya, Sorolla, Zuloaga, and Solana appear alongside other major and lesser-known painters, creating a broad panorama of royal portraiture, religious devotion, and everyday life. The book also evokes the intellectual and social world around Goya, placing him among Spain's leading aristocratic and progressive thinkers, including Jovellanos, Moratín, and Meléndez Valdés. Moving from court and church to villages, bullfighters, regional costumes, and devotional figures, it celebrates the color, variety, and cultural force of Spanish art. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
