内容説明

The great tradition of printmaking and drawing in Spain has rarely been examined, in part because of the misapprehension that Spanish artists did not draw. This spectacular volume of drawings and prints will examine the history of graphic practice in Spain for the first time, providing an overview of more than two hundred years of artistic production. The story begins in the mid sixteenth century with the building of Philip IIs monastery of the Escorial near Madrid, which brought to Spain a large number of foreign artists, such as the Italian Pellegrino Tibaldi and the Flemish printmaker Pedro Perret, whose engravings of the Escorial are among the most remarkable architectural prints of the period. Moving on to the Golden Age or Siglo di Oro a dramatic flourishing of artistic and literary endeavour in Spain during the seventeenth century, and concluding with the Enlightenment, and a remarkable collection of Goya prints, in particular featuring traditionally Spanish subjects such as bullfighting, and works by Goyas contemporaries Lucas, Camaron and the Tiepolo family of Madrid.
