From the medieval works of Romanesque and Gothic art to the golden age
of the Baroque, from the famous Beatus Apocalypses to Diego Velázquez
and Francisco de Zurbarán, Spanish painting offers a unique abundance of
artistic themes and styles. Intimately connected with the needs and
power displays of the Habsburg dynasty and the Church, Spanish art
developed an idiom as varied as it was distinctive. Covering over 500
works, Spanish Painting (1200-1665) offers a comprehensive and richly
illustrated history of the most significant epochs in the art of Spain.
