What is El Greco to Goya : spanish painting ; the National Gallery about?

This book presents highlights of the National Gallerys outstanding collection of Spanish painting from the 15th to the 19th centuryconsidered one of the finest outside of Spain. Haunting works by El Greco introduce the Golden Age of the 17th century. Canvases by Velzquez span his career, from royal portraits and religious works to the Rokeby Venus , his only surviving depiction of a female nude. Bartolom Murillo is represented by exceptional religious and genre paintings, together with his imposing Self Portrait . Other works by Baroque painters, including Ribera and Zurbarn, reveal shifting uses of naturalism to express everything from the mysteries of faith to the grandeur of royalty to the beauty of the mundane. The later part of the collection includes Luis Melndezs Still Life with Oranges and Walnuts and portraits by Goya. Published by National Gallery Company/Distributed by Yale University Press
