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.
